I have to confess that the construction of the chassis looks so simple, the harder to build.
Chassis takes 45 Minutes.... Body six weeks.
The entire construction is so fragile that the mirrors can only fall off when viewed.
Tightening the side windows was an almost insurmountable obstacle. Hardly accessible with the screwdriver without breaking the car body. It is almost impossible to glue the windows in without leaving any fog. I had to try 5 super glues to find a crystal clear and smoke-free one that worked. that didn't exist then.
mine will never see a road, but I can well imagine that at the time when driving, just the sight of a curb made the Posche explode in 100 parts.
nevertheless, my passion for the 58001 was sparked, which I became addicted to.
a dreamlike Tamiya RC milestone was released out of its box into the world.
how do you like the Porsche 58001
What have you done in 1976?

This is Tamiya perfection! Are these the original decals. I remeber them not fitting the wheels arches very well. Maan, the finishing of the body is just incredible. A real beauty!
