Grip 1/8 Porsche build

Here is the 1/8 Porsche RSR that I have commission built.

Its was quite a challenging build, I think fitment wise was the worst problem either due to the quality of the kit or the age of it. There was definitely a fair bit of warping of the body and especially the doors, The rear boot lid also gave me some issues.

All in all I think its turned out pretty well for a stock build other than a bit of wiring detailing that I added, its definitely a kit that you could really enhance if a full replica was required, but I think built straight out of the box it still is a good quality model.

Thanks

Chris,

Nice job on that ancient late 70’s, early 80’s kit! Are those the kit decals? If so, it’s amazing they survived.

Looks great. Nice job.

Yep they actually were the original decals, they gave me a massive amount of issues!!! but the customer insisted that I use them. The only one that isnt is one of the blue stripes that I was able to remake myself as the original was just too far gone. Colour matching it was tricky but got pretty close in the end.

That’s fantastic! I saw the 1:1 car in Stuttgart at the Porsche Museum last year. Yours looks more real than that one did!
