Simply amazing. What more can one say. That transmission looks 1:1 scale.

Great cinema, the frame alone is a work of art. I'm always happy when your contribution is at the top.

Thank you very much for your nice comments

The 1:8 version is nearing completion. Transmission, mounting plates for the half-shafts, starter motor and exhaust pipes are assembled and "married" to the engine block.

Intake trumpets, fuel pipes and ignition wires and spark plugs will be next. ... and I've started the production of the kit parts

BR,

Uli

Thanks folks

... started to install the fuel lines. I've measured the original diameter (= 6mm) of the fuel lines on a 917 exhibited at the Porsche Museum. In 1:8 scale = 0.75mm. Difficult to find a silicone tube with that diameter and the right color on the market. The MFH P-975 silicone tube is a perfect match in terms of true-to-scale but a bit yellowish. Nonetheless it fits perfectly true-to-scale so I've decided to use it.
