You might have seen the iconic Porsche 911 S with the number 277. This car became Magnus Walkers and also the Outlaw Porsche enthusiasts trademark. The design, with colour accents on the bumpers, the red hood with number and sponsors represents a time, when teams would enter cars with the similar look and feel to the main races, like the 24h of Le Mans 1970. Growing up during that period, the taste for those graphics stayed with me. After the first attempts converting the AFX Carrera to a 911 S, the idea grew to make more of the Porsche 911 entries at the 24h Le Mans 1970.

Having fun out on the track Porsche 911 from the 24h Le Mans 1970

Researching images of the various cars and background information proofed to be time consuming. 24h Le Mans 1970 seemed to be well documented. The internet has proven to be a great source for all sorts of information over the years. Finding detailed information on the teams and cars has proven to be rather difficult. Teams no longer exist. Sponsors changed logos or went out of business. Many images are of poor quality. Identifying names and graphics can take forever. Only by chance some of the logos could be identified. Some are still a vague reproduction of what was deciphered. Still the little Porsche 911 S look good and perform well on the track.

All of the cars sport an AFX Magnatraction chassis, like most of my custom-built slot cars  Wheels are mostly RRR or similar AFX rims with Custom FX Fuchs inserts. Bodies are based on the AFX Porsche Carrera. All bodies underwent modification on front and rear spoilers and bumpers, the rear-view mirror was removed, a lump on the driver’s side. All the cars were treated with great care. All the paint removed, sanded, base coat applied, sanded, painted and repeated if necessary. Window trim, headlights, exhausts etc. were detailed with Revell Aqua Paint. Some decals came from Le Mans decals. Others are custom made decals for better proportions and detail, printed by Decal Print. The Porsche 911s are a nice addition the growing collection of h0 slot cars, representing the 1970 Le Mans grid.
