Porsche 73 911 2.7RS Engine (detail model)

Hi Guys :
(this is NOT a for sale post)
I am not sure where i can post this but i would love to share with you on the Marushin Porsche 911 2.7 RS Engine Model.

The Marushin company is a Japanese die-cast company. They've made a small number of 911 2.7 RS engine, fully functional - yes fully functional in 1:8 scale. It runs on compressed air and a see thru section shows you how the piston / cams / con rods / valves functions.

Its simply amazing! The model sold for a very high price in the early 90s' and therefore didn't sell very well. I believe it was selling at USD1000.00 range.
The Marushin company has then changed its direction into making detailed Air Guns. Again, they have discontinued making the 911 Engine model (the ONLY one they've made.)

I have found a few Videos on the internet and you should see it!

So here you go, and ENJOY!!

Here are some photos
