Porsche 936-004(908-80) Logo Help

Post by Icon_Modeler »

Gentleman, I need help identifying the blue RTL logo on the left front fender of the car over the headlight. Clearly we can see that it says "RTL" and below the RTL we can see it says "Radio in France" but over the top of the RTL is where I'm unclear about what it says. I'm building this car in 1/12th scale and would like it to be correct. The studio 27 sheet for this car in not accurate. I've included a snippet of what the Studio -27 sheet says and you can see it is nonsense. Can anyone please help me out? Thank You!!

The words on top of RTL is "RADIO LUXEMBOURG". Radio Luxembourg is owned by RTL and broadcasts into France.

However on this particular logo, it seems the 'o' is missing from "bourg".

Finally, I find the sticker on ebay. Yes, I am right. The top is "RADIO LUXEMBURG". The bottom is "RADIO IN FARBE".

Yes,RTL was the first private television broadcaster here in germany and they where located in Luxemburg.

The " Radio in Farbe" means they were first a radio station but now they are a television station.Radio is now television,with color.

I remember listening to radio luxemburg in my early teens. Nowadays you have a zillion of radio stations for each genre, but back then all local radio was focussed on middle aged to old people, and there was no room for genres youth was seeking. Radio Luxemburg was one of the first stations filling the gap, and if i remember well, presentation was in English while the station was situated in French/German/Letzebergs speaking kingdom of Luxembourg, a small country next to Belgium/France/Germany.

I used to listen to them when i was in bed, with speakers only low volume so parents would'nt hear. They broadcasted mid-wave, so every now & then the sound dropped or got some hollow tone to it. Sweet memories ;-)
