Default 944 model

I am looking for a 1/10 or larger scale model of a 944 (or somebody interested in making one up). This is for some testing/developmental work not for display (detail is not important - shape is!).
If need be I can supply a 1/24 scale model to be digitized in order to make a larger scale version.
So - anybody with the ability to fabricate such a thing please let me know!

I know AutoArt will release 1/18th scale collectibles of the 944S2 ( I'm after this one...) and the 944 Turbo in the coming months but I doubt any company will make something bigger....

I believe Tamiya made one a long time ago. I could be wrong, but I remember hearing about/seeing it somewhere at one point...

It doesn't give a release date nor do I see a picture.

when are these going to be made available. I'd like to buy a few

I've got the 1/24th 944 turbo model but, who doesn't. We all want something bigger.

I'm also a diecast collector (I've got at least another real top shape 944 worth of collectibles !!) so I check that carefully. I promise I'll post it when they are available but it may take a while, sadly. I 'm used to their marketing techniques now....it may take at least another 6 months !

Do you think you could use a first generation RX7 model?

Not just any wind tunnel....a very nice rollng road wind tunnel!

So if there are any folks that want to help out with modeling a 944 I would love to hear from them....it looks like I will end up machining a larger model from either a 3d model or a digital 3d scan of a smaller model.
