afx Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) This was the lightest production 911 ever built (less than 1800 lbs). Gerald Larrousse drove this car to 3rd place in the '70 Tour de France Rally finishing only behind two Matra V-12 prototypes. Kit: Fujimi Enthusiast 911R - modified Paint: Tamiya Chrome Yellow Decals: DMC Edited July 17, 2015 by afx
Scuderia Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 That's a wild lookin' ride, and you did real nice with it. Never saw this one before, excellent
GeeBee Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Very nice build, I love these Fujimi enthusiast kits ....
Chillyb1 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 That is one very cool subject. Excellent job adapting the Fujimi kit and excellent detail work. Where did the decals come from? Too bad they don't recreate those groovy numbers on the door.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Cool. Love the headers and the auxilliary venturis in the Webers.

Too bad they don't recreate those groovy numbers on the door. Decals are from DMC. I just checked thier website and these are sold out. I don't belive it every raced with the funky number just the block style.
jaymcminn Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Sooo nice- great decal work and overall detail. I'm just starting a build of the Testors/Fujimi '73 Carrera RS now. It's going to be built in the "outlaw" style... sort of a 911 hot rod. Are the louvered rear windows on your 911R kit items or aftermarket?
acmiaz Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Really cool subject. I really like 911's Thanks for sharing it with us.
IMSANUT Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 A great build of an early 911. I really like this one!

I drilled the front side vents windows and the rear glass.
afx Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 I posted this a while ago but I thought this build deserved some better pictures.
Modelmartin Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Great job on an iconic car! I wish Fujimi would have changed their tooling on the long hood cars and given us the twin batteries in the nose!
cruz Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Very cool bro, I remember the work on progress on this one, turned out great!!!
