Porsche 911RSR 5th Le Mans 1975 Gelo by Renaissance
Although the cars offered in these kits are physically very similar, the kit parts are quite different, the Gelo kit having the bumpers moulded into the main body shell and the other having them as separate pieces, which appears largely to be to simplify painting. The Gelo kit offers the choice of three near identical cars, though only one finished the race, and these are finished in the familiar red and white livery with yellow trim. The Swinford Motors car is less familiar and in this kit we see a small supplementary decal sheet that includes the blue parts of the Harley Davidson sponsorship which are slightly too pale on the main decal sheet.

About Renaissance
Excellent kits and conversion sets (for plastic) using resin bodies, white metal parts, lots of very fine photo-etching and good decals. Some castings need cleaning. Excellent instructions. Classic subjects (REN43 refs) are relatively simple builds, while the Integral series (RENI) of more modern subjects are a little more complex. Made in France
