mr moto Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Really excellent work. Did you scratch build the airbox on your Stude R3 or is there a source for that part? It looks very authentic. I built an R3 replica a few years back and scratch built the airbox but mine didn't capture the look of the real thing like yours does. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/111013-1964-studebaker-avanti-r3/ Edited March 8, 2019 by mr moto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djflyer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 On 7/11/2018 at 6:16 AM, landman said: Porsche 928. SOHC V8 (website said SOHC although it looks more DOHC to me), 4.5 to 5.4L./ 270-350hp. This engine evolved quite a bit over the years. Bought on eBay incomplete, so hard to tell which kit (year) it is from. It looks very similar to the one in the Gunze kit (#G215) I have. So far its the only one I've found with a complete driveline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the rear of the engine was made with other pats. as I said in the post, it was incomplete. thanks for pointing out the origin kit.

djflyer Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The eengine and driveline are molded almost as if to display them outside the car. (Picture of the box). There was also a driveline in kit #g211, but I have never seen it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Many years ago, I got on a kick where I would build the engines out of my kits and so I ended up with 12 built engines. These look really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
