Porsche 3.0 RSR 1976

[USA24]

Hello
here you can look the Arena's RSR in 1:24 and 1:43

Many thanks to Marmotte for the GREAT link to the pbase site for photos of the RSR!

[lovegt40]

so, lets update with some pics of the actual work in progress:

The rear fenders have been shortened, so i cutted 2 mm each side of theme and add some milliput to create structure inside. I deeply love the british milliput. It is coming from the old school tools.It is an old, incredible performing putty.Think its origin was to fix home radiators element.







correct rear RSR fender.Esci body (and body only..) was not so bad at all..


the same needs to be done to fix front fenders.










then I had to cut the 935 front spoiler and save the fw air intake. shape is correct.Wanted also to save the 2 holes cause inner shape was real nice. No way for the RSR front end (what I call the "classic RSR"). will anyway save theme 2 coming from the 935 cause is a detail mistaken in the easi 934. If u have such kit u´d probably noted they have been moulded squared inside, while in tamiya more recent 934 it is correctly rounded.

So, after some Glogg,some very good Scottish whisky, some italian Cadolini honey grappa from deep up in the Alps, a LOT of suppa (inte suppatorsk !...),liters and liters of swedish beer AND kilo-liters of italian vino rosso di puglia...here we are...

Brrrrrr..!! Ma che co stai a fare li in Svezia?
Che lavoro fai per essere finito fra i 1000 laghi?

Veniamo alla RSR:
Premetto che io sono un po' al di fuori da questo modello in 1/24 che ha fatto Luca.
Io mi sono limitato alle fotoincisioni e a correggere l'alettone post e il paraurti,
Oltre a fare qualche musetto per le versioni speciali, come Questa RSK.

Ho dato comunque il beneplacito iniziale dopo aver visto il prototipo, cià vuol dire che sono piuttosto soddisfatto di come Luca ha reso la RSR.

Sì, forse hai ragione sull'eccessiva spigolosità del parafango post, mentre quello anteriore non lo trovo eccessivamente diverso dall'originale.
Tante volte sia sul modello che sull'auto vera, la luce può rendere in maniera diversa lo stesso particolare.

Ti allego altre inquadrature del modello 1/24 dove si evince che se visto con altre angolazioni e con altre luci la spigolosità dello stacco del parafango post è meno evidente.

Io ho in casa circa 6 kit di questa RSR e probabilmente anch'io quando mai le monterò rivedrò qualche particolare perché si sa che ogni modellista vede le cose con i propri occhi.

Però di base la ritengo molto buona.

Se mi premetti invece ti evidenzio alcune cose che ho visto sulla tua che poi vedrai tu se è il caso di correggere, anche perché tu appunto la vedi con i tuoi occhi:

- sei sicuro che la Carrera RSR è larga come la RSR Turbo Martini?
- i passaruota mi sembra abbiano un luce troppo larga, hai provato a vederli con le ruote posizionate?
Questi che hai fatto tu potrebbero funzionare per qualche Brumos che li aveva più larghi dello standard.

- lo stacco tra la bombatura del parafango ant e la parte superiore del medesimo, mi pare un po' strana, forse è troppo bombata, troppo arrotondata.

- anche il parafango post mi sembra tanto bombato verso il giro ruota.

Fino a qui le mie impressioni, però ho anche una certezza:
l'alettone post è evidentemente sbagliato.
Sei partito da quello della 934 giustamente, ma ti sei dimenticato che lo spazio fra la griglia grande e il piccolo radiatore, è ben maggiore.
Sul tuo ad esempio la scritta Jagermeister non ci potrebbe mai stare.

Ciao e mettiti la sciarpina.

Ok, sorry, I did not realize that you were in the 2 to work.

... And also sorry for my bad english (I'm help me with the Google translator)

In fact, the second body made ​​from Love Gt already seems better but if use the rear fenders of the 935 is not correct (the 935 was equipped with the much larger diameter wheels).

The wing is made ​​from Marmotte sees eye is wrong.
Look well to this surface between the large and the small grills and you'll understand.

Hello Paolo!

We modelers .. and see the line of a car with our eyes ....
I'll follow you .. I'm curious to see ..
as soon as finished the celica
I have to assemble a RSR... for the company ... I'll do a wip ..

Luca

[lovegt40]

ok, understood what u mean.Guess he already knows it btw.
Think anyway will be possible obtain the correct one using also here the large wide 935 wing as base and saw saw saw it (cit. sascha ).Probably I need to rebuild also the rear hood, cause after my surgery is totally gone right now...

grande mitico! onorato che mi segui e che ti attizzo verso un montaggio.Spero di vederti presto in azione su codesto mudeliin , anche se te sei troppo boss ed e´ dura competere con te

[sportracer02]

ok guys, I´ll search for an Italian forums now and hope, they write in ENGLISH there !!!!!!!!!!!!

(btw: nice model, USA24 and Luca74, is it an Arena - kit )

[lovegt40]

time to saw the rear windshield frame. also here that little hasegawa saw made its dirty work pretty well.I create a flat side to apply decal for the 11 ventes as in 934 tamiya kit.









as well as enlarge a little bit the front fenders air intakes (this mostly cause plastic thickness.At the time tamiya wasnt so light and fine in moulds as today...)



Also opened the front bonnet air intake

Great Work in the Posche.

[lovegt40]

[marmotte]

I suspected that something was wrong with my spoiler .. Now I know what ... Sorry Paolo, my rear wing are not going to use ...
In any case you work well.

[lovegt40]

Mike

remembering this phrase I measured mine. Right now my size is 83mm at rear. Hope it can match little better..



in the meanwhile I also add windows frames and the waterlines over the roof



everything was possible also cause this incredible lager beer they sell here. Like a lot also the can. Swedish beer is absolutely incredible. Including the ones done only for xmas..
