Porsche 3.0 RSR 1976

It does sound like one heck of a project. I hope it really turns out well for you. I have always loved the Porsche 911 makes and models. When I was a young boy I had a 911 Matchbox car. It quickly became my favorite car to play with. Since then the Porsche 911 has been my dream vehicle. I have as yet to earn enough money to actually purchase one let alone afford to remodel one. Maybe one day. Until then I will have to settle for painting and building models of the car. I love the photos of the racing models by the way.

Yep, porsche are definitely cool. I love to note how such shape nearly never deeply changed too much since the 356´s.Had the lucky to drive some street ones, my fav. remains the old 993, also cause was the last one really small in size.newer modern are a little too big for my tastes.
it is the real and only, german sportscar.

And they can easy turn into very powerful racing cars. I love those versions, even more when they come from the past...

Little update about this project in progress:

The car body will be casted and meant as a easy transkit based on porsche 934 tamiya kit.
The 934 has identical wheels and rims, and is also the last and imho best quality historical porsche on the market.
My transkit will be very easy: just the entire bodyshell I made here and the main rear wing, so special and quite hard to make from scratch.

To complete it u can probably use parts also from 935,even if the 934 is much nicer,today comes at a cheaper price online and has better wheels.I mention the 935 cause maybe probably of u already build it in the past and/or have it scrapped somewhere.

The final look of the bodyshell will be this one:







of course many others historic racers 911's can be used. I dont mention the old fujimi enthusiast kits cause they are all OOP since long time and usually comes quite pricey online.

The rear wing aileron will be moulded apart and can be used also for other projects as modern replicas or rwb ispired street cars.

I plan to have a small first quantity for the end of this month, and the final price will be available only when I will have parts in my hands.My target is to have great quality at a decent price.
If somebody is interested in collect this special 3.0 RSR please PM me here or at my [email protected] webmail.

Decals can be even taker with minor modifications from 934 jagermeister car, or from the spare decals available from arena models. I took one in a recent expo for a bargain price of 10 euros.

Lo sai che una è per me... Che te lo dico a fare. ^_^

One for me, don't you know?

Very good work Paolo!
Looks very smooth and clean.

Did the rear wheels from the 934 really fits under the massive fenders?
Any changes need?

regards
Christian

Hi Chris,
yep, the fenders have been reshaped in size from original giant dimensions from 935. asap will have the first testshots in my hands will show some pics. Did it on the master and was ok and realistic.
I am very optimist on the final quality of those resin copies.The first parts I've seen are impressive and very well done.Now want to see finally what arrives in my hands and how it will look after cleaning.
As said I mean this as a base for 934/935 and some adjustments can be done (there is a thicker resin part inside wheel arch).there are different models with different rims...Fuchs, bbs..the ones from 917's, so some adjustments can be easy done.

Note the production of this small transkit must be considered as a "garage model kit", so I think production numbers will be not so big.I will personally save soem copies for me. I like too much this brutal porsche of the 70s.
I am happy and surprised of the many messages I already got to pre order this car.The delivery to me must be around 20 oct, as from yesterday agreements

yes, is definitely cool car. One of the nicest imho.
Nice to see also the real last RWB cars are clearly inspired to the design of this racing model...

Dear Lovegt40,

Have seen the result of your P-body-work... Many hours gone with the swedish wind I think. Three points I have to remark on the first view...

1. The bottom line of the rear side window must be more twisting. The window seal you've glued on there is to straight and has the wrong shape.
2. Engraving of the front bumper should go to the end... The wheel house.
3. Rear wheelhouse on the right at the air-intake... The bodylines at the wheelhouse opening seems to be not parallel....

So, I think 3 points to do, to achieve a better model. Good luck.

[lovegt40]

its already in mouldings and a resin copy is already this one showed above.
All modellers can fix those issues easy by themself. its just a traskit.
Thank u for pointing it out.

Amazing job Paolo!

Congratulations!

some good news and some bad news.
The body finaally arrived. All what said before is confirmed. I am very satisfied with the quality of the cast.
Of course always remember we are talking of a garage kit (transkit),meant for experienced modellers.The resin quality is the same as plastic.It is nearly impossible to see differneces from the original body I used as master. Also rear wing is exactly as shown. I just got home and those for me are rushing days, cause soon I will return home to sweden for a long period.

SO everything I said before, including the fact of couse some minor gap filling and/or some little bubbles, must be filled in (very) few parts. Imho is anyway absolutely nothing hard to do, considering the unique car we are talking about. See those rsr bodyes all together is impressive . believe me.

The negative part:
Of course being our first attempt to make a bodycast there are some mistakes. Me at first: I didnt project the body to be casted, so the guy had a hell to make it all an in ENTIRE unique part. It was amazing to see how he did.

However of course the rubber didnt last so much, and the result is I have less than 20 cars available for sale.
I dont plan to recast it.

Tomorrow will post pics of some cleaned body with the tamiya original 934 wheels. They are (correctly) perfect for the issue.935 wheels result too big.

Price is confirmed as I said.It was already a miracle to keep it in this "dimentions".Who casts knows what I mean.
