Chuck Kourouklis Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 (edited) Hits me in the feels fer sure. Been wanting a proper kit of a roadgoing 21st-century 911 for longer than I can reckon by now... Edited October 11, 2024 by Chuck Kourouklis diction 1

Something that was introduced as GT-specific suspension setup in 992 GT3, replacing the usual McPherson Strut on other, non-GT department 911s and emulating the setup they have been using on the 991 RSR GTE racecar.
Luc Janssens Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Just saw an unboxing of this kit on youtube, looks great!
catpack68 Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 (edited) Sweet! I will have to get one to build a replica of my cousins’ green GT3 RS and one to build for myself. Edited October 17, 2024 by catpack68

The Alpha Models GT3RS is close, but still not the right model year. But the Tamiya kit is an entire chassis platform newer than the one he wants.

To be fair you can get 992 GT3 RS in PTS Yellow Green, which is a shade that is quite close to Lizard Green on this 991.2 GT3 RS so there's that. Oh and 992 actually uses the same chassis as 991. Much like how 996 and 997 uses the same chassis, ditto 964 to 993.

The Dodge Charger uses the same chassis as a Mercedes Benz E-class and they both come in black, but they are not the same car. Just like a Camaro SS is not the same car as a Camaro ZL-1, etc., etc..
niteowl7710 Posted November 26, 2024 Posted November 26, 2024 S.K. Decals will be stepping up with a decal sheet of the GT3 RS stripes in the other factory colors beyond the 4 offered on the kit provided decals. 8

Your individual mileage may vary depending on where your hobby shop/vendor gets their Tamiya kits. Be aware Tamiya has sold out the initial production run, so if you want one in 2024, grab it when you see it or you'll be waiting into the 1Q of 2025 for a restock. 1 1
Don Sikora II Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 I received my kit a few days ago direct from Tamiya USA.
