@ Sasha : yep..


@ Jesus : thank u my friend. will try to make my best
@ Lars : Yes my friend. I am here,and I am also a victim of Glogg and Xmas BIG preparation.In other words, also I am changing all house stuff and fixing nice light stars in the windows.Too nice the waiting of adventum here.

coming back to the RSR, does anybody know if those cars (originals) had the 11 vents on the rear windshield? From the pics I found many have and many dont have. suspect some can be replicas, as the wonderful one I´ve seen racing in historical races in monza last summer.If anybody knows better than me any tip will be appreciated. think I still can fix theme on this body:





same car of the first pic:






this is the italian replica (wonderful btw..)


and she anyway got theme..


..and another one without:


and another famous one racing the historical champ (original and without):



so would like to listen to your opinion guys. plz tell me what do u think.

Another Porsche project to follow - excellent!

Regarding the rear window top vents, I'd have to say they're definitely a period feature. I've got a single photo here of the Peter Gregg / Brumos RSR in 1975 and they're clearly visible. They're also on various 934's, the original 1976-spec 935's, and both 935-78 shells also have them.

Maybe the top vents were changed on later 911 shells (sometime in the 80's, perhaps?) which might explain why some of the 'replica' cars don't have them now?

Either way, looking forward to seeing this one continue.

All the best,

SB

I got a similar idea speaking of RSR surgery... than I took the shortcut offered by Arena , I'm not sure Arena shape is 100% accurate BTW, mainly in the front fenders area: RSR front fenders are really ugly and rough, anyone would smooth em down to do the pair with the awesome back fenders: so the goal in this project is to do orrible front fenders...
Airfix RSR (those with the "box" styled back) has orrible fenders enough

For my shelf I'll live with a great designed smooth front fenders

Don't remind me the Gr4... worst business in my life.... water gone...

Great work in that Porsche!!

Do you have any beer? I hope so or you are in a real crisis!

Hello Lovegt40,

I have to correct you about the Loos RSR, the vents are there!
The picture you posted is taken at Rennsport Reunion, a friend of me was there and took pictures for me.

It's a picture taken from the back of the car.
I even think the Wally's Jeans RSR has them.
They are not clearly visible because the mesh inside is sprayed body-colour?

Regards,
Joka-1

Nice project Paolo. Good luck...
P.S. Your window view is incredible!!!

I have two Arena kits, the kits are quite good, but the bodys are toooooo wide with
~87mm in the rear, I think the base kit for the Arena was the Heller 934 ?

I started to build my RSR 4-5 months ago, but with another body, as transkit for the Tamiya Turbo or 934RSR

would love to see also your models guys, as marmotte did. Nice to see this subject gets u too.It is a nice car, definitely.
About arena model:
I dont wanna blaime or talk bad in any way of theme.I never had in my hands, for real, the rsr in 24th scale. Just seen her already build in pictures and had the opportunity to see and admire their RSR in 1/43 scale. Those little ones are gorgeous.
But from the pics of the bigger sister I´ve seen online (ebay mostly) it seems to me the angle between the flared wheel arches and the rest of the body is a little bit too sharp and evident,mostly at the rear:


as well as I am not so sure those rsr used so often the BBS RS wheels as displayed in nearly all arena models. Those are just my personal considerations.The models probably will look anyway good and the price they sell it is absolutely good and competitive, being a complete model,and even more if compared to some other TK models on the market...
They are also very very kindly people to modellers.This thing is quite rare today both in virtual and in real....

This said,it is absolutely the best (and only way) at today to have the RSR 3.0 in collection.Maybe not in Jägermeister livery, being too similar to many others already seen.
Plz. correct me if I said something wrong.....

Thank u my friend.
As well as from SB magic hands tip, I will listen and modify the 935 bodyin such detail.It is definitely a part visible in nearly all historical and in many modern replica ones.


Now also I have another question:
what do u think about the rear air intakes showed in the lower part of rear bumpers? In many pics I see theme (as in many pics I posted here before). For sure the little rear one on the upper metal fenders is always present, the other ones on the plastic around exhausts I dunno really. They look pretty cool detail too, and I like to saw saw saw... (cit. Sascha ).
I still dont have in mind any precise livery version of this RSR, have only the idea (maybe, depending from my time and price) to make it as a Tk body and wheels only for the nicers model on the market,mostly tamiya 934, without considering the old rare and extremely expensive RS - EM from fujimi.

[marmotte]

For the rear air intakes, it's like you want.... If you love to saw and saw and saw...
In my case, I prefer without.
Look at this page: http://www.pbase.com/slidevalve911rs...tory_cars_1974
It only remains for you to choose the chassis number
