Decals for a Porsche 908/3

For the Porsche 908 Resin Kit I bought some parts quite a while ago. The only decal set I found was sold via “Jens Scale Racing” and was made by BvH. The Sheet is for the Gulf coloured 908/3 which was raced by the Werksteam in 1970. There are decals for two cars, the Targa Florio and the 1000km Nürburgring. I will try to make it the Targa Florio Version, which I also have in 1/32 by Fly (upgraded with Slot.it parts).

Together with the decal sheet I also got me some Colour, the Werksfarbe “Gulf Blau” (Gulf blue), and a technic kit for building a car compliant to the DSC rules. These kits are good value for money and you get everything you need to build a chassis ready to compete (remember, I have 2 of them).

For quite some time now I was looking for a 1/24 scale Porsche 908/3 model. Finally I found a quite inexpensive resin slot car kit made by MNS. I got the kit of eBay for around €30,– including a driver figure.

Over all I am quite happy with the kit although the parts will need a lot of cleaning up since they have lots of excess material. Resin kits are definitely not for the beginner of the hobby!

For me this will be the first time ever to build a resin kit. I have mostly experience with plastik kits, some experience with white metal and paper kits. I pretty nice “how to” on building a resin slotcar kit can be found on this forum here. Some of the techniques explained here will be useful as well, since you might need to fill some areas where you have some holes (larger or smaller ones). Since I have some bubble holes in my kit, I will need to use them at least. I think in general you can say the more expensive a kit is the better is the cast quality and the easier assembly will be.
