Re: Entex Porsche RSR 1/8 (in progress)
I've heard this kit can suffer from pretty severe body shell warpage. I'm guessing yours is nice and straight.

Re: Entex Porsche RSR 1/8 (in progress)
I have two of these kits and the body shell is placed into seperate holder box within main box that has cutouts to hold the body flat in place. Perhaps I've been lucky with my kits but both models seem to be fine.

What parts exactly did you adjust to make it lower? I am still some weeks away from doing the suspension I think.

This is going to be awesome! And I love Enter box art, the package could be put on display itself!

Here is a short update.. Added some more details to the engine, added some wash on silver parts of the engine block and transmission because I wanted a darker shade. I am working on adding the ignition wires next and after that will work on adding the intercooler and turbo along with some braided hoses and connectors.

Re: Entex Porsche RSR 1/8, updated 10/14/2017
Hey guys,
Here is an update on my Entex Porsche build. This is a first such major project for me where I am adding a bunch of things to a kit, so things have been built, confidence gained, broken down again, re-worked and built again with more details and options added as I learn on the fly sort of. I have to say that Entex Porsche is pretty basic kit and some things don't fit too well. I even had to resort in certain cases to heating up plastic and bending it to shape. At this point the engine is almost complete and I will start working on suspension and chassis next.
Thanks!
