1/12 Porsche 911 RSR by Dale King

This model was originally built in the late 1970s as the King Brothers car:

It is based on the Otaki/Entex model of the first 911 turbo show car. Over the years the model deteriorated a bit, and it needed repairs. Originally the rear wing had been enlarged and new extended fenders made using Aluminum and bondo. While I was redoing it I decided to scratch build a new front clip, new rims and tires, make a few other new parts, and turn it into the Brumos version.

The body was completely striped down, repaired, corrected and repainted. The wheel centers are resin castings, while the outer rims are turned and polished aluminum.

All of the decal artwork was done on the computer, and printed on an ink jet printer.
I was fortunate to be able to photograph the carefully restored car at Rennsport III at Daytona, Florida in 2007.

I think Russell was demonstrating his digital camera with these photos, but I really like the way he captures the model itself, particularly the reflection in some of these shots. Thanks for letting us see these, Russell.
