I was just poking around forum sponsor SpotModel, and in addition to the Audi R8 LMS and two 911 RSR GT3s, Nunu and Beemax have a BMW M8 GTE, an M1 Group 5, a 280Z, and a bunch of other touring racers coming soon. Looks like I picked the right time to get into model race cars!

Hello,
Thanks for the info!
The 911 RSR is desperately needed in mainstream kit form. I don't understand why it is missing. Maybe licensing issues? I wonder if it can be converted to a GTLM or GTE PRO. The M8 is a welcomed addition as well.
Thanks,
Ismael

True! Fortunately I’ve been pretty aggressive selling off part of my airplane stash, so hopefully, I’ll break even. (Dream on!  ) That M8 does look interesting. I’m really going to have trouble resisting that fluorescent green 911! Ben |

Pics of the new Audi R8 LMS GT3 kit: linkHe's also started a build thread here: linkHopefully, Michael at Indycals or Racing Decals 43 will make some decals for the Magnus Racing #44 car that won GTD at the 2016 Daytona. Ben |

SK Decals has already annonced this car:  TailorMade Decals have several sets, but I don't know how many of them are appropriate for the model Nunu has produced. Link to TailorMade Audi decalsMy kit is presently on the way from Hong Kong. |

Thanks for the link to TaylorMade. I like that Land Motorsports car! The trick will be figuring out which slot car body they're made for and seeing if/how well they'll fit the Nunu kit.  Ben |

I was on Nunu’s Facebook page, looking for a way for a non-FB user to suggest a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 kit to them, and there was a question about the Porsche 911 RSR and GT3R they announced in 2019. The reply from Nunu was they were delayed by the pandemic and licensing, but now they are back on track for next year. Now, if they’d just keep going with the other modern GT cars!
