Kess's 1:18 resin Porsche 911 993 Almeras GT1 in grey reproduces a widebody conversion from Almeras, the French Porsche tuning house. Sealed resin construction suits the flared bodywork of this air-cooled 911 tuner special.
About the Porsche 911 993 Almeras GT1 Grey Kess 1:18
TL;DR: Kess's 1:18 resin reproduces the Porsche 911 993 Almeras GT1 in grey, a widebody conversion from Almeras, a French tuning house known for reworking Porsche bodywork. Sealed resin construction handles the flared fenders and aero addenda this kind of tuner build demands.
French tuning houses rarely get the same attention as their German or Japanese counterparts, but Almeras built a genuine niche reputation reworking Porsche 911 bodywork, and this 993-generation GT1-styled build shows that work applied to the last air-cooled 911.
Grey Resin Over a Widened 993 Body
A tuner conversion like this one lives or dies on how convincingly the widened arches and aero elements blend with the original 993 silhouette, and Kess's resin tooling holds the panel lines around those flares tight and consistent, a genuine advantage sealed construction has over diecast on a subject with this much bodywork surgery. Grey is a restrained colour choice for a tuner special, letting the shape itself carry the visual statement rather than a loud livery, which suits Almeras's generally understated approach to modification compared with some of its more flamboyant contemporaries. As with any resin piece, there are no opening features here, a deliberate trade for the sharper surfacing this construction method delivers.
Almeras Among Porsche Tuning Specialists
Almeras built its reputation within a specific corner of Porsche tuning culture, distinct from the German aftermarket houses more commonly referenced in English-language collecting circles. A 993-based build gives this particular conversion added weight, since the 993 already holds significant standing among enthusiasts as the final air-cooled 911.
For a collection focused on Porsche tuning variety, this Almeras GT1 offers a genuinely different regional perspective from the Japanese and German builds more commonly seen.
