Porsche 914 Kit?

Does anyone know if there is a 1/24 kit available?

Revell had a 1/25 scale. Maybe close enough. There may be a 1/24 slot car body available but I am not sure. HTH

I just got an old Revell Porsche 914/6 kit from eBay, but it costed me 50$, But since this is one of my favorite cars the price was acceptable.

This is the 1:1 reference car I will try to replicate: http://www.914conversions.com/html/rich.html

I have just sanded down the body and started to testfit bumbers and hood. The kit is a bit tricky beeing a bit out of shape and with the whole rear end beeing a loose part.

I hope to post some pictures soon.

Yeah! Please do! Would love to see this kit again!

From what I remember, the kit WAS a nightmare. . .

Wasn't it re-released back in the late 80's in a triple model (Porsche???) pack?

Always wished Fujimi would have added a 914 to their enthusiast line

Somewhere in my stash I have one of the Revell 914's; molded in red it was from the reissued 3-pack, someone bought the 3 pack for another of the models and sold this one and the 356 where I picked them up in a bag. It's from the 70's so it's quality is that of other 1/25 Revell '70's kits like the Datsun 510 and 240Z. Done right it will be a nice kit. Wherever mine is I also have a set of Fujimi 911 rims to spiff it up a bit. Seems most of the Revell 914's I've ever seen built all sit a bit high...needs some careful work to lower it and get the wheels properly inside the wheelhousings. I really wish I could find mine...I looked for it recently and didn't find it

This old 914 kit is driving me crazy, the rear bumber is to wide, so the rear lamps sticks out on the sides of the body, both the rear hoods are too narrow, making ugly panel lines, etc etc....

I think I will get me some putty and make it a curbside. I think thats the best way to get it too look good.

So I'm putting it away for a while, and continue on my 928 S4 insted.

Btw. I got a brand new Revell Porsche 944 Turbo kit, and when I opened it the body was missing... I feel so lucky :-)

Automobilminiaturen has resin racing 914s on their website, but I dont know anything about them.

My Revell 914 will be put together very soon.
