cmatthewbacon Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Inspired by an article in a recent Octane Magazine, this is the Fujimi "911 Turbo '76" kit with a bunch of parts from a "spares or repairs" 911 Rally kit and wheels from Renaissance, intended for an Opel Manta/Ascona -- the only BBS set I could find with five lugs instead of the single centre lock nut used on 934/935 racers... best, M. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy J Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Great job on this looks a perfect replica to me. I'm currently working on a fujimi Porsche 911 atm the first fujimi kit I've built and other than the odd bit of clean up which is normal for all kits I'm quite impressed. The engine in particular is very detailed and pretty good oob imo. Well done mate look forward to seeing more of your work soon 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricLightAndy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Looks brilliant, those pics could be cropped straight from the magazine 🤔 I think the front wheel arch mods were a success! Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt6mkiii Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 That's a fantastic replica! I would agree with the comments on the front fender mods - it really makes a difference to the overall accuracy of the body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, all... @ElectricLightAndy @gt6mkiii ... It's interesting: you can see from the profile pic in the magazine above that the front wheel arches on this car are a semicircular arch, but if you look at say, a Carrera 2.7RS from 1973, the Fujimi arches with the "shoulder" are accurate for that car, and the squaring off is even more obvious for the rear wheel arches. I think it must be different because of the flares on the Turbo body, and Fujimi trying to keep the same main body mould across multiple EM 911 kits... best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right on the differences in the arches between the 911s but it feels like the squared off arches were also translated to Fujimi's 964 which to my limited knowledge would be a totally different mould. It's always felt to me like the arches were too long - stretched across the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
