Latest project: Porsche Turbo Carrera
1974 Porsche Turbo Carrera RSR - I've been waiting to get to this project for quite a while and only recently got all the key parts together. Nitto body, Fujimi chassis and interior, Fisher Resin wheels.
Waiting for the clear coat to cure before polishing.  I'll need to make the exhaust and turbo plumbing that shows in the rear.   |

Re: Latest project: Porsche Turbo Carrera
Awesome start so far Ken. It'll be another great build from you.
It's inspiring me to get busy on my 935.

Absolutely marvellous start!!!
Now I do am a little worried by the decals : are they the ones that came with the Nitto kit? If so, I should tell you that they are wrong : the names on the car say "Müller - Van Lennep" (who finished second in the 1974 le Mans race) and the race numbers say "21". It should be n° 22, that was the racenumber of that car. Or you should change the names, becaise "Koinigg - Schurti" drove the n° 21 car... |

Re: Latest project: Porsche Turbo Carrera
Mach 1 2003 - Yea, I have a 935 to do also.
Sennake - These are the Nitto decals, but they dont have any driver names at all. You're right about the car numbers and the drivers. I dont know why they didnt render the more successful car #22. The decals were a nightmare, as they were about to fall apart. I suspected they were in bad shape, so I put a lacquer clear coat on them before applying. Needed a lot of Microsol, also. As I mentioned, the wheels are from a Fisher resin 917 kit. I filled in the simplified tread with epoxy putty to make them slicks. I'll post a pic soon. |

Looks great so far.
using Fujimi chassis and interior is nice idea. RSR is one of my favorite Racing Porsches.  Keep it up!! |

Sennake - this is the 1/24 kit.
Quick update Interior with only major details. Couldnt find reference pics of the interior, so this is a best guess. I know the car has the oil lines running through the interior and the back seat has a fuel tank in it.  test fit of major components  |
