Renault RE23

Post by SBEST »

Does anyone have any pictures of the late Renault RE23 in 1980.

I always wanted to do Jabouille car from the Austria win. However, I can't find pictures of the changes with the sidepods.

Regards,

Steve

Hello, I built the protar Renault RE23 years ago. If it is of any help to you, I can send you pictures of the model. I can't tell you what the differences to the tamiya re20 are. I still have the tamiya unbuilt in the box.

Hello Steve,

Here are some pictures, unfortunately, it is very difficult to find a clear top view of the rear area of the sidepods.

Also be careful, Heller did both versions for the drivesr hight and mirors, Protar / Italeri seem to have done a mix of Arnoux and Jabouille, to the body shape around the mirror, If you want to do the Jabouille version you need to modify this, the length of the cockpit seems correct for Jabouille.

I still found clear spare parts of the protar re23 metal kit. The cockpit fairing and the upper covers left & right. I can part with that for the shipping costs. Take some pictures of it tomorrow.
