Roncla Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Scale Motorsport are re releasing their Super Detail kit for Tamiyas' 1/12 scale Porsche 935 for those with really deep pockets... https://scalemotorsport.com/collections/super-detail-kits/products/porsche-935-big-scale-super-detail-kit No mention of price from Scale Motorsport but Spot Model are listing it.... https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=55048 I bought one when it was originally released back in 2003. I can't remember what it cost by the time it arrived here back then but it was so much I chose to forget that quickly. It is in a class of its own as far as quality and detail goes but the cost could be the constraining issue for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm looking into this. I have their 1/20 McLaren MP4/4 complete kit and it is second to none. I am thinking if I am to build such things I may as well start them sooner than later. Between these and my MFH EL Harley I have enough for at least 4 years of highly detailed model building and everything thing in my stable will get passed on to others. I'm that serious about these projects i have planned. Thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last on I did won best auto at IPMS Nats and best large scale at GSL. You will see more of it when the SMS advertising comes out.

I had my hands on 6 of them. Two I built on commission and I still have 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a few pops up to be notified, but AdBlocker Plus can take them out. Nothing harmful. Go to the Spot Model site, where the price is listed. $200 kit and $1081.05 for the detail set puts the admission price at almost $1300, but insanely detailed with 180+ machined aluminium parts.

m3fan Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Agreed his detail kits are great. I still have the 956 Porsche but yet to start! Seems too daunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I got the reference CD of the 935 from Scalemotorsports, what a enormous let down..... waste of money. Sure, there are pictures, but they lack quite a lof of pixels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is currently working on transferring old videos to mp4 files and she is working on our honeymoon, we bought a new camcorder, state of the art Sony - 2.8 megapixels!! This was in 2006 and according to the info above this transkit was released in 2003. Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures are lo-res and you can't zoom in anything. In that timeperiod, I bought my first DSLR camera, 14mp and it made great pictures. Paying a hefty sum for that cd was a huge disappointment.
