    Porsche 935K

    Thanks Trevor & Dann. Jim, the 934 was the Porsche 930 built to FIA Group 4 specs which allowed minor modifications. Basically a 930 with fender flares. A few examples all be it with different rear wing styles. The 935 was the 930 built to FIA Group 5 spec which allowed major modifications. The 935 were prototype race cars and got more radical through the years. And just to confuse every one, there was also a 934.5 or some times noted as a 934/5. It was a 934 with the back half modified with 935 body work.

    Porsche 935K

    The first version of the Kremer was simply called the "935K" as subsequent version were introduced K2, K3 etc. it retrospectively became known as "935-K1". Not sure why Testors refers to this as a 934 but this is the kit. Gunze and Airfix also released versions of this kit.
  7. Wikipedia: Kremer Racing is a motorsports team based in Cologne, Germany, founded by racing driver Erwin Kremer and his brother Manfred. They have competed internationally with Porsches for nearly all of their existence, and were even one of the factory-backed squads for many years. Besides running Porsches, the team was also known for their tuned Porsche race cars that they both raced and sold to other teams who could not gain the best equipment from the factory. In the 1970s, Kremer initially tuned 911s, 914-6 GTs, and 934s. However, with the Porsche 935, Kremer began designating their tuned models with the letter K, followed by a number in order of construction. Eight cars were designated as such. 935 K1 - Their first privately built 935 in 1976 935 K2 - An improvement on K1 in 1977. 935 K3 - An attempt to mimic the Evolution bodywork on the factory 935/78s. The most successful 935 variant, due to its technical advantage running an air/air intercooler instead of the air/water units used by the Porsche factory. Winner of Le Mans 24 Hours in 1979. 935 K4 - An all-new variant of the 935 for the early 1980s, featuring a space frame CK5 - A custom-built Group C prototype based on a 936 meant as a temporarily replacement until the 956 was available for customers in 1983. 962CK6 - An improvement on the factory 962 CK7 Spyder - An open-cockpit prototype using 962 mechanicals used in Interserie K8 Spyder - An improved version of the K7 for use in the International Sports Racing Series and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Kremer also built a 917 for use in the 1981 24 Hours of Le Mans, and would also make improvements on the 911 GT1 and GT2 in the 1990s.

  12. Turned out great Janne.
  13. Coming along nicely.
  14. Very nice Janne. I have the racing version of this kit in my collection.
  15. Yea Tim Boyd's article picks the MPC '73 Cougar and AMT '69 Cougar 428CJ as the two best.
  16. There are street versions and rally version from Evo. III up to Evo. X. In addition Fujimi and Aoshima also have released Lancer kits. Your question is too broad to comment specifically but in general all these manufactures produce great kits.
  17. Great show, hosted by our club (Maryland Automotive Modelers Assoc. - MAMA).
  18. Both manufacturers are excellent and both have issued multiple generations of the Lancer Evo. Not knowing which generation of Evo you are asking about makes commenting specifically impossible.
  19. Beautiful work Clay.
  20. In episode #2 we meet the JDM-L shop truck along with some other cool vehicles.
  21. The rendering Ford released.
  22. Very impressive Charles.
