Porsche 356 A , Le Mans 1956

Hello All, good moring,

in 1956 two Porsche type 356 take part at Le Mans race.
One of them with 1,3 litre engine reached finish line in 13th. position.

My model # 34 shows the car driven by two french drivers.
For base I take the -GTM-resine body which is a copy of the -NINCO- model
To get the model right in scale 1/32 to receive proportions near by the original I had to cut off more than 3mm oversize in width. ( length and wheelbase were fine.)
The following picture makes it clear. (left -NINCO-body oversized more than 3mm !!, right -GTM-body after shortening width.)



The chassis is a selfmade construction. Using -polystyrol- boards (1,0 and 1,5mm thickness).
Two main longitudinal beams are cut off fixed along the motor-amount spare part.
Pic up position and floor bases backwards are connecting the beams completing the chassis. All parts are glued with -cyanacrylat-.



All details together before final assembling starts.



Here is the result










thanks for showing
