Porsche 911 'G-model' (1973-1988)

Christian W It Looks so. First I compared it with the Monogram 911 (wrong scale, no sliding roof) and the old Revell (Premium & others) or Fujimis Enthusiast-kits (engine more parts or "cheap" axle" and Tamiya (no opening hoods). The sprues are completely different. This kit comes with a sliding roof, which I didn't found. The under carriage is different to others and the body doesn't have an opening front hood (like the Valliant / Jägermeister).

I didn't found a kit with the same sprues - the engime parts are at the plated sprue e.g.. Some parts look like "Premium" (engine) but that's all in common.
Pictures of the sprues are on the website of Revell germany

Johan Perremans That does not look like a new tool. If you compare the sprue shots to the plan of 85 4330, it is the same parts breakdown. Now, I do not know the origins of that kit either, but it looks like a late
'80's-ish tooling.

Alexander G. Cool, thanks for the explanation! I am rather surprised with this release because it isn't listed in the 2017 catalogue. I would love them to bring out some newer Porsche models as a kit. 991 or 997 Turbo perhaps?

Alexander G. Strange, the scale specified for this kit is everywhere 1:25, on Revells website and on most seller sites, just the box says 1:24.

Johan Perremans It does seem to share certain parts with the 1:25 kit...the only way to resolve this will be tot get one's hands on the kit. But I'm willing to bet that this is not a new tool.

Christian W @Johan Perremans .. Do you have a kit review for Porsche 911 Turbo (Revell 85-4330, 1:24) ?

Christian W I checked the instructions for 85-4330 with the parts of the 07179 in my mind. I think, it is the rebox for Germany. Don't know, why the scale is different. But as we know, they brought the Kenworth Wrecker or Kenworth Dumptruck in 1/24 and later in 1/25 on the box. The kits are still the same. I have them all and compared them because of that scale thing
Kenworth K-900 Wrecker (Revell 07509, 1:24)
Kenworth W900 Wrecker (Revell 07402, 1:25)
Kenworth Dump Truck (Revell 07523, 1:24)
Kenworth Dump Truck (Revell 07406, 1:25)

I'll change the kit to a rebox.

Christian W Oh! Then I see, that the Monogram (Porsche 911 Turbo (Monogram 2956, 1:24) is also 1/24 with sliding roof. Hmm. Based on this? Looks like.
Knowledge gap closed ?

Johan Perremans @Christian: no, but the plan is on the page. It is the same kit.
Also, just al look at the sprues reveals that this is a vintage kit; typical eighties parts breakdown and rather chunky sprues.

Luc Janssens When looking at the sprues, it shows Monogram design in the part lay-out.

Johan Perremans Shame, though, they could have made a nice modern Turbo tool from the 934 tool...

Josh P Hey Brian, Do you have the instructions for this kit kicking around? My father bought it back in the 80s and only got as far as part of the engine. It ended up in my hands when they moved out of their house last year and I was hoping to finish it for him for father's day. Unfortunately the instructions have disappeared over the years.

Brian Geiger Hey Josh. I think I have them but they're at an off-site storage. I'll check when I'm down there and let you know. Regards

Brian Geiger Josh! Are you still out there? I took another dig into my storage unit and found these instructions... Finally! If you send me a mailing address, I'll get them sent to you.

Spanjaard why not upload them to the site, and then everybody will have them?

Mike Kryza Could become more than a little bit interesting...

Alexander Aristides Cronvall That should keep you occupied for a while great idea

Holger Kranich Yihaaaw, hat sich Munster doch gelohnt!

Stefan Suessemilch auf jeeeden Fall, gut dass ich erst heute da war, sonst hätte es heute gaaar keine Autos mehr gegeben

Markus Berger Ich habe ja auch extra für dich alle Auto Kits am Samstag liegen gelassen.

Frank Krause Hehe, Stefan, schön, Dich mal in Natura kennengelernt zu haben.
Dann gibt's ja bald einen "Porsche in Progress" hier zu sehen. Freu mich schon drauf, Dir über die Schulter zu schauen. Oder hebst Du den für Wangerooge ( (0., ) auf?

Stefan Suessemilch Das finde ich auch Frank! Überhaupt so viele nette mates in natura ist top!! Scalemates wird besser und besser und die Leute zu treffen, die sich so toll engagieren.... fabelhaft! Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste mal! So wie ich das mit Wangerooge sehe, müssen wir noch ne Woche dranhängen, bei all den geplanten Projekten

Holger Kranich 2 Wochen basteln sind besser als eine!!!

Frank Krause Na, dann informiere ich besser mal meine Frau, dass Japan nächstes Jahr ausfällt, weil ich meinen Urlaub bereits verplant habe...

Holger Kranich Haha!

Stefan Suessemilch Denilson, are you sure you gonna be 150 years old to build all the models?

Denilson Martins I hope so!

Stefan Suessemilch me too Denilson

Guy Golsteyn I found a box with old diaslides showing the models that I build back in the seventies. I couldn't resist scanning a few of them to complete the photoalbums of models long forgotten
