jjsipes Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I just ordered and received my 1970 24hr LeMans Winning Porsche 971KH kit. I am not real familiar with these cars and am looking for some reference photos to aid in my building of this car. I have been able to find exterior photos of the restored(?) car but no interior shots. Would like a few interior and engine shots as it ran in 1970 even though the kit doesn't have an engine in it. Has anyone built this kit before? Anything to watch for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2whl Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Here is a Link to pics I have been collecting of 917K cars. Maybe not that particular car, but they will give you a good idea of the interior and engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Chernosky Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 The decals can be a bit tricky. This is actually a Fujimi kit reboxed as a Revell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I did the similar 71 Le Mans winner kit (Martini livery). Very good kit, you will enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Jason, here is a link to a French slotcar site: scroll down to the bottom and you will find about 60 race pics of that car winning Le Mans in 1970: https://lemans.slot-racing.fr/le-mans-1970/porsche-917K-23-fly.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They show one engine shot which is one I have in my files and almost sent but I don't think it is #23 because it shows black injection covers and other exterior shots of #23 are red covers. Now back to our regularly scheduled programing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absmiami Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 So i got a question - why hasn’t anyone figured out how to make a bare fiberglass decal ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because bare fiberglass (at least on the 917s) is actually translucent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
