I think yes. There might be a few minor flaws in the model if you're part of the history police squad, but
other than that. It's not one that'll end up in my collection, but I'm happy for the guys who want it. On the
topic of older cars, hell yeah, totally up my street. A proper done GT40 - MK1 or maybe an MKIV that would
definately be up my street.
But I can see people not like all the old stuff. Again, purely my opinion. I've been to Le Mans the last almost
10 years - still debating whether I should go again tomorrow night or not - but outside the DBR9 and the
AMR1 there aren't any cars of that period that I would even contemplate building or buying (die cast) no
matter which scale. They just don't excite me as much as those flowing shapes of a 1970s Matra prototype
etc...
Yeah, I'm done blabbering ;) Carry on
Cheers,
Roman

Thank God. My SS check is safe for another month. :)
I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I will get this one, finally after many months not needing to buy

It will go nicely next to the 1/12 2018 RSR Romans that I’m almost done with

And will be a better kit

Let’s hope it leads to other 911 variants

Wims conversion will be a must for me too as that is one of my faves, if only he would do a 959 Paris to Dakar in 1/12

I'm going to wait to see if they mess it up like the Daytona.

I am still hoping for a Moby Dick 935 from MFH. I saw this one in pre-production and it looks great. I built the same RSR Turbo version using the body from Christian. I will save my coins for a future build.

To clear up any confusion, I saw the computer work and a 3D part being made for the 911 RSR Turbo during my visit to MFH. Not a Moby Dick. I sure wish I saw one.

Full pics up now. Looks strange in plain white, still evaluating.

It might be because there are no Martini colors on it. Personally, I think that Christian's body was right on.

For me it also looks like a bit too wide.
But my version is not wide enough, or I should say that the Tamiya body is not correct.
The Tamiya body is too wide and I used the maximum wide of 2m upscaled to 1/12.
But the MFH looks "strange" in plain white.
