Hi, sorry. I used simply the stock tires from Revell.
The stock rims have a small shoulder inside and the tires a goove.
On my 3d pirinted rims i made the shoulder outside and mounted the tires are inverted. The groove at the tires have the correct outside diameter.
Hopefully you understand my explanation in english.

Re: Porsche 918 Martini 1:24 Revell

"Quotation of Tompidom: I am going to be building this kit soon, and got a head up from someone saying not to glue the bumpers on before paint, because the chassis would not fit otherwise. But by the looks of it youre where glued pre paint correct"

I´m building also the 918. Under the advice of mwhh I glued also the bumpers to the body. But you have to cut off now the front spoiler from the frontbumper. For future refixing the spoiler, it is very helpfull to drill two small holes from the underside into the bumper. Position? Have a look at the pictures......

For a good conncection between the bumpers and the body it is also very helpfull to add some extra styrene stripes. Then you have a safe and resilient bonded joint.





This works, I can assure you....

Really sharp looking build and I love the 3D parts. It is really cool holding a 3D print from Shapeways after working so long on them in 3D CAD.

That turned out great, really like the white instead of the flat black. Are the parts available to purchase from Shapeways? Thanks.
