Ace-Garageguy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) It's not a Porsche. It's a Chevron B16. Edited September 10, 2019 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDO Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 I did a quick search, looking for models. Not a lot available, at least in 1/24. I did see that a guy in England will soon be offering models built to order in 1/8 scale. He currently offers a Chevron B8, Lola T70 MkIIIB, and some ugly old Lotus. His prices aren’t that bad.

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Some years back, I snagged a Volkl kit in 1/24. Pretty much just a resin body, a slightly different version from the one in your photo (which has been one of my all-time favorite race cars since 1969, and the first race car I ever turned a wrench on for $). You'd have to scratch-build just about everything but the body (which isn't perfectly symmetrical and will need some corrections), but it's a place to start. It's a very small car in reality, but I did some rough measuring against an Accurate Miniatures McLaren M8, and the Mc chassis could be cut down and modified...again, as a starting point...though the Chevron was not a full monocoque like the McLaren, IIRC. Some "continuation" cars were built later, using the original jigs, fixtures, and tooling, and photos of the guts and specs aren't too hard to find.
