Some time ago I acquired a Porsche 911 GT1 EVO 1/24 model kit produced by UT models (see image of kit box below). I put off building this kit because at least seven parts make up the body alone (excluding the rear wing). This morning, I finally finished assembly.
The GT1 EVO is narrow enough to run in our Sports Car class (if powered by a Deathstar or ProSlot 16D) but could also be run in our GT1 class (if powered by a Hawk 7 or Falcon 7).
Since I had a spare Sports Car chassis (Scholer), the swap was relatively simple. The wheelbase needed to be shortened and a custom guide tongue was fabricated to take advantage of the long nose of the Porsche. Below is an image of the car in its current form set in front of a Trakmate screen showing its best lap time.
Over the next few days, I will prime and paint. I use Duplicolor primer (see image below) because it almost any paint will adhere to it quite well
I like the Penske team color used on some of his early Can-Am cars and on his Trans-Am Camaros is dubbed Ultramarine Blue, but it is quite hard to find in a spray can. I found it on the Spray Planet website and have used it in the past (see below for image of can and a 69 Camaro I painted)
I will post updates as the project progresses and include images of the chassis as well
