1/24 Porsche hood emblem and tail script, anyone?

CeeElle · #1 03-13-2007, 12:48 AM

I'm building a 1964 Porsche 904 (an ancient Monogram kit) and would really like a decent Porsche hood emblem for the nose and, if possible, the "P O R S C H E" letters that go across the tail. I'm looking for something akin to the MFH / Ejan Ferrari badges and Crazy Modeler Ferrari scripts.

I've checked Hiroboy, Stradasports and Racing Miniatures and no one's got anything like it, so I see if anyone here had recommendations or might be willing to donate/sell one badge and one script to my project (this is the only Porsche in my pile)...

I don't know of any generic Porsche emblem PE set on the market. As usual there is a glut of Ferrari stuff while the really important manufacturers get overlooked.

You'd have to hope somebody like Acusteion would fill the hole at some stage.

yeah, i was surprised. i thought i'd go to hiroboy, etc. and enter "porsche emblem" in the search engine, but nooooooooooo.

well, shite.

hmmm... i know mpwr has built some porsches. i'll bet he's custom milled some porsche badges and scripts.

was typing in what you want into search all you did?
as pointed out hlj has (occasionally) a nice set of porsche emblems in 1/24.
there is also a small set of european car badges from hiroboy's site too.

that aside....
i've not seen the small badge set yet so I can't comment.
on the other hand, I've seen a few of the acustion sets and the quality of the etching can be a bit hit and miss. on the same sheet, you can have some perfectly etched badges and then some almost blank faces.
It's also a bit pricey and not always so easy to get hold of, especially if you only want one badge and one script.

I might actually have a pair (1xbadge 1xscript) I can send you if I have a little dig through my bits and pieces. I'll get back to you on that one as I'm a little bit busy re-organising my home "office" at the moment.

thanks. i didn't check HLJ because the time and expense of having it sent from Japan... $18 for the set, plus the shipping seems excessive for one kit.

that would be great; i'd be happy to offer a reasonable finder's fee.

PM me if you find something.

Well what do you know there is such a beast. Although its bloody expensive at MediaMix and no 356 speedster badges.
