It's frightening to think how old the new pits are at LM.
A closer look at that one for you. The wheels are from a donor 917/10... I need to paint that replacement rear view mirror.A wonderful collection of Porsches, and how much better the Siffert 908 looks with shiny (instead of black) wheel rims.
Trisha - You must have read my mind! This is the one I’m aiming for. I think it looks better with its reduced livery than the no8 and no9 cars which came first and third.One for Mike. Collesano, 1973. View attachment 293989
I believe the bonnet and boot lids were all that could be used from the original shell, although I think the engine was still operable, too.The interesting thing about 107 was that it was 107 version 2.
The original car, fully Martini liveried was wrapped around a tree in training at great speed, hence the plain silver spare car was pressed into service with reduced livery.
Fair bit of Targa 73 film on you tube, wish I'd got a time machine.
The other manufacturer car that had a bit if an accident in training was the Alfa 33 of Clay
Reggazoni, but Alfa must have had a spare to hand.
Maybe if you sand a bit the axle with coarse grit, just a little in slow longitudinal movements, to “scratch” the metal, this would give superglue something to grab better😉I've enjoyed racing this Boxster a lot recently. However, the rear tyres kept falling off, so I've glued them back on with Bostik. I used to use superglue but have eschewed the 'orrible stuff in recent times due to the 'fugg' it leaves on wheels as it dries. Messy stuff. View attachment 294131 View attachment 294132
Mark - maybe you could use the Kinsmart diecast 356B as a master?A 356 with fully enclosed wheels. Easy to build as a slot car if Fibreslots made a polystyrene shell. Mark? View attachment 294134
But a vac-formed 356B would be nice to have anyway……It's just occurred to me, Mike, that a roofless version of Frogeye's 356 Le Mans car would be a better bet. View attachment 294167
