Hi everyone, many thx for your interest into this project :-)

# MWT Parts: as mentioned by Roman, Michael is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/miko3572/ ... an incredible source of inspirations for my own work !!!

Slowly but steadily, there is some more progress on the RSR

There is a new windshield washer tank and filler cap (3D printed) along with the associated pump, connectors, plugs and piping. The tank is hollow inside so I could fill it inside with transparent yellow paint to create an illusion of a tank filled with water.

New thermostatic valve for the lubrication system

Next will be a complete new assembly of the gear linkage and the installation of all components under the front bonnet.

BR, Uli

This is just out of this world. I'm not sure you could consider this as modeling??
This is designing and recreating the real car just smaller!

Your work is incredible realistic, what a huge amount of details combined with improvements

I'm curious, does Michael of mwt have a web site or online shop?
I see you've already been given his Facebook page. If you're considering one of his transkits don't hesitate - they sell out quickly and he doesn't make them again.

Amazing work as always!

I asked Michael (MWT) about it, but he don't want to make some more parts for the Porsche RSR :cry:

Hi everyone and thx for your continuous interest :-) In fact, my aim is to build and "re-engineer" this car as close as possible to the real car but 12x smaller. Despite the modeling activities, the fun part is to deep dive into (and understand) the history, design, technology and components of this very unique Porsche, which can be considered as test bed for the development of the 934/935.

As with all MFH 1:12 kits, also this kit provides a superb basis with a lot of upside potential for hyperdetailing. When finished, there will be around 1000 new parts added to the kit parts. Many of the kit parts will be replaced completely by new parts, either designed by Michael (MWT) or by myself. The parts are "one-off" and not intended for sale as the production- and documentation effort is simply too high.

Today's update is about the installation of all components under the front hood. What's still missing is the steering shaft, which will be installed later together with the steering gear assembly and front suspension.
