Post by KBF »

The kit is great when it comes to details, but either there is something wrong with me or the kit. The engine don´t fit in the car! F..K!!!!
Well, the engine looks nice though.

Here is some finished photos.

Some might notice that decals is absent, thats because they dissolve when I tried to apply them..

Also, after the photoshot the engine fell on the floor and broke... will be fixed soon

Nice job; clean, nice details and colors, sorry to hear of the blown engine (smile). I'm sure the rebuild will have hotter cams, larger injectors, etc. (smile again).

I spent a good deal of time it the "basic" 911s from the mid-80s.

I also got some time in the turbos, crazy cars. Coming out of a corner, nicely balanced, rear end just holding and then the turbo spools up... and you're sideways.

The transmissions were clunky, nowhere near as bad as Ferrari, but it was the clutch that made you curse, they are top hinged, so they swing down, then back up, extending the leg further than a normal pedal and they are HEAVY. If you got stuck in rush hour traffic you want crutches after you got out of the car.
