RL930

Absolutely stunning, could easily pass for the full sized car!

I find it hard to believe that's a model - incredible work!

Wow - outstanding work! Very inspiring as I have the 1/24 version to build, and this will be an excellent reference!

Thanks for the compliments, it looks better than the pictures show - it's amazing how photos pick up on every little spec of dust and magnify any mistakes. When I bought it I had no idea it was that inaccurate, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Built as the #40 car driven by Jacky Ickx at the Norisring in 1977. Chose to model this version as there's good reference pictures available from the Porsche museum, however, as it turns out the kit is not al all accurate for #40... So, the front oil cooler was deleted, the side intakes were substantially modified using plasticard and filler, and a big side exit exhaust pipe was fabricated in lieu of the kits rear pipes.. Did a few extra details that only I will ever know or care about, or even see for that matter! I'm not usually one to go to such lengths of accuracy, but the differences were so glaring that I felt I had to make the changes out of respect for authenticity... Anyway, not great pics as usual but it looks nice on the shelf next to the other 9354/935s.. Painted it in Tamiya white primer with Mr Hobby gloss clear coat, and another gloss coat over the decals

Hi DrB - here it is....

Nice work so far - I'll follow as I have the 1/24 917/30 to build as my first MFH kit, and I need tips and inspiration!

Fantastic work - truly inspiring!

Looks great and brings back memories - first brand new car my Dad bought, in '74 I think, though ours was metallic blue with a white vinyl roof and cool little opera windows in the rear pillars. Not sure what made him think that would be a good car for a young family of four with a dog...

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip - I switched to HobbyPhotoHost and managed to embed them but will try that with Imgur. Next time I will use a proper camera for the photos instead of my phone as the quality isn't great.

Hi Jeroen - thank you! Yes I've been trying to get them embedded but haven't had success yet, hopefully I'll get it figured out soon.

My first RFI post here after enjoying the work of others since last winter.. This is the Nunu Porsche 935 K3 along with the resin fender kit from Classic Racing Resins for chassis number 13, and the Indycal decals for the Coke sponsored Bob Akin team as driven at the 1981 Le Mans race. The car did not finish the race, but I've always liked the Coke livery so decided to build it to go along with my other mostly OOB Porsche race cars. The Nunu kit is a rebox of the Beemax kit, and it went together very well - on a par with pretty much anything car kits I've built from Tamiya, Fujimi, etc.. I also used the Nunu PE kit. Only fit issues I had were the PE protective mesh for the front mounted oil cooler which I couldn't get to look quite right, and strangely the steering rack was slightly too long giving the front wheels too much toe-in so I left it out rather than try and correct it. Paint is Tamiya rattlecan pure red (TS-86), polished with Novus, and then clear coated with Johnsons Pledge floor polish over the decals. I'm pretty pleased with the results but am always open to constructive feedback, and I proactively acknowledge that my photography needs some improvement for the next RFI.

Very nice! Look forward to visiting one day..
