Porsche 911 SCRS

[afxracing]

Corrrado did an excellent build of this car based on the Tamiya kit. Scale Production also did a body trans-kit based on the Tamiya. I'm trying the conversion using the Fujimi kit so I can build it with an engine.




Combined parts of the '76 and '85 Turbo wings to create the SCRS.

Looking good.

Hi JC,
It is great to see you start this epic model as well! I don't know the Fujimi kit myself but I guess, with the given engine detail you will make a superb build of it!
I sent you a message in private.

This will be great I am sure. Which livery will you choose ?

Maybe the rear spoiler could be reworked ?

This is Corrado's build with the right rear hood:

Corrado's build was great. I'll still need a bit of shaping on the notch but for the most part I am happy with the wing.




Appears there was some wing variation during the SCRS's competition career.

Colours that belong in motorsport...how can you go wrong with a Porsche build. Looking forward to the next update.

If you build a Rothmans SC RS, the sole variations were in the colour of the wing's grille. The shape was always the same. I have studied tons of pictures over the years. The other famous rally SC RS were belgian ones : they wore cigarette liveries too, Belga and Bastos, and had different wings (2 different types for the Belga following it was 1984 or 1985 season, the RS 3.0L type for the Bastos).

I would be interested is seeing any photos you care to share of the Bastos /Belga wings

Hello JC and Chris, I shot some top-view photos of my SCRS rear wing with measures, maybe it can be useful. The Rothmans SCRS had few variants but only in color, the grill was white or black and the outer, soft edge had the white/black variations as well. JC, for the Belga/Bastos version, you have to look for Droogmans' or Snijers' Porsche and it loos like it either had the above black edge/white grill version or the one with the small rear grill, you have on the middle one (as seen on the photo with the flaming Porsche) or some photos shows the "ducktale" (last two photos). I am not a Porsche expert, might be wrong though...

Jc where did u get the decals? Also I like it a lot

[afxracing]

Thank you for the additional photos Attila and the measurements. I'll adjust the shape of the notch in the outer wing.



Paolo not aware of decals available for the Bastos or Belga SCRS. Belga decals are available for other cars, they might work on the Porsche.

The Belga Porsche in 1984 (like depicted on the photo above) share the same wing as the Rothmans one but in 1985 RAS Sport the tuner made a mix of this wing and the hood from a stock Turbo 3.3L :





Rothmans, Belga and Bastos decals were available at one time at Renaissance models. Don't know if it's still the case ?

Thanks chris24 for the photos and information. The'85 wing looks easy to accomplish.

Old liveries were so much better than new ones.

Revised wing.
