Interesting idea will follow

These look great

Looking at this fia pre 63 racer questioned my direction with the boot so redoing it. I need to create a separate tank like the grey car and then add an additional tank for the car i am modelling.

That looks great

Not being a Expert on 911s, from reading between the 911l, 911s and 911T as road cars there'd be some spec changes (wheels, trim and options) the engines where very similar just slightly different tweaks. I think 911T was base model (lightest), then the S and the L was more luxury for 1968. Although I also read the T replaced the L? So confused. I assume all have the same 2.0l engine before 1970 where the larger spec engines became available? Yes the R would need some more body work changes and scratch building

The options.... so many i liked... i may be looking for more kits 1968 Le Mans 24 hours - 68 Porsche 911 T/R - Chassis 118 25 724 1968 Le Mans 24 hours- 68 Porsche 911 T/R - Chassis 118 20 847 - Wicky Racing Team 1968 Spa 24 hours winner - Porsche 911T? - Kremmer racing 1969 Daytona 24 hour Class winner - 69 Porsche 911 TR 1966 Daytona 24 hour - 1966 Porsche 911 Porsche 911R - Tour de France 1971 Le Mans 24 hours - 69 Porsche 911 T/R chassis 118 20 505

Loads of detail, these kits look incredible. Love the 70s f1

Very nice topic

Thanks Jorn, Thought it may be but wasnt 100% as at scale its even harder to see the extra length

Worth noting instruction pic is from online, I have the racer kit which doesnt have a side on view to draw against

I like to have multiple projects going and move between whichever one I'm in tge mood for, so alongside my E I introduce a 911. This was a started bashed up kit off an auction site, it was a glue bomb in places, tge windows are all a mess and red paint everywhere. I have unassembled it as best as I can with some minor breakages. My first issue is what is it? It's a revell kit with 1970 printed on the bottem. The instructions give notice clue other than its a 911 I'm guessing a 2 litre car but I'm trying to figure out is a LWB from 69 onwards or a pre 1969 SWB. Ill try mock up the shell against some lines too I think it may actually be a 1968?

No 3d printer so will likely buy from Jack or pinch wheels from another kit. The car raced with wires, but maybe also have run dunlops in same race but as my only ref from the race is wires, wires is how I will present the car https://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1963/Sebring-1963-03-23-022.jpg

It's not a huge change but I decided worth having a go, I have a stock engine incase it all goes wrong haha

Looking good, The old damaged body id chop the roof and just build some 70s racer out of it. I did like the red but gotta be a colour your happy with so good on you stripping it back and making sure your happy. I will build a road car vette soon, I'm torn between the box art green or a burnt orange if I ever do one

Not aware of one on the market, it would be a good candidate for some aftermarket conversions parts

No worries Yeah shame the new kit has no hard top

The kit has a hard top with it being the old 1:25 kit

Evening all, Started this project using the old 1:25 revell roadster. The car I am making is E-Type 875027, the first E-type Roadster delivered to Cunningham and the car raced at Sebring in 1962 and 1963 before being replaced by the lightweights. https://stanceworks.com/2016/11/not-quite-lightweight-gregor-fiskens-preserved-1961-jaguar-e-type/#:~:text=Built in 1961%2C Gregor Fisken's Jaguar E-type%2C,famous driver and team owner Briggs Cunningham. I'm building mine to replicate the car as raced in the 1963 race, which is how the car is currently presented. Jobs Sort out the headlight shape (the kits are way to circular) if this fails I'll cover them just like the real car had at race start. Build tunnels/structure behind headlights. Opening up doors and boot and build working hinges. Scratch build boot interior, fuel tank, spare wheel holder and other components Modify interior based on reference pictures ' transmission tunnel doesnt match kit parts. Modify engine to have a wide angle head and redo carb set up. May try wiring this engine Scratch various body modifications including parts similar to the lightweight cars Replace missing wheels from the kit with better wheels (looking at Jack's resin model parts) Make roof mounted indentification lights Current status All parts cut out, prototype hinges built using paper clips. Boot structure being built up.

Really like this, I need to finish my airfix 1:32 which i was trying to make look like the daytona 24 hour cars. Wish there was a decent 1:24 kit

Has anyone built the 1:24 scale Minicraft TR3 I believe it was also boxed by Entex and maybe Revell. I require the hard top part for a project using the Gunze TR3 (gunze didnt do a hard top), however don't want to buy a whole kit for 1 part, seen a few build it without the top so hoping there may be a spare lying in a box and be better to make use of a scrap/leftover Will pay postage, UK based.

Think I'm going to try scale these up and compare what's what and do some measurements. It'll either be worth changing or accept it for what it us. The kit decals are toast so will also find a new scheme to do it it

I have this 996 gt3r from horby and been trying to figure out what's wrong with it? The shape just looks off. I can see the front is very wrong but the rest of cars bugging me. Any tips or ideas on adjusting the front or anyone seeing anything that stands out to them that is off. Ot could be once fronts sorted the rest falls in place? The kit is the same as the scalextric car

Hi all picked up this kit as a built up unpainted model. I have stripped it back to parts, decals are toast so have decided to order the le man's DeWalt set from Pattos Place. Plan is to redo interior to try make it more realistic, no gear stick a rather pedestrian steering wheel and very generic square seat came with the kit some odd mouldings in the passenger side interior, and not convinced the cage is correct. Boot is all wrong based on a reference I am using of a recently sold car, not the same chassis but assuming this is more correct that what is depicted on the kit. Boot is now cut out, just removed the bottom panel to try redo it that way but may chop the whole rear off and rebuild around some reconstructed foot wells. Chassis lacks detail so may look at a way to improve that to

This will look fantastic

I will hopefully get back to finishing this soon
