    Allan, I love 1980's cars and they don't come much better than the 956. Here's a short tribute to the legendary Stefan Bellof and his (still standing) record around Nuremberg in '83.

    P.S. amazing build, Allan.

    Fantastic work Allan. I realy love these Group C cars and had the opportunity to see them up close several times. Endurance racing at its finest. Looking forward to your progress.

    Super work, Allan. I have never built a model car but have the Tyrrell P34 (six wheeler) and Lotus 78 (love classic F1) waiting for the 'right' moment. Following your thread may just be the inspiration to get one of those on to the bench this year.

    Love how precise and clean your detail work is.

    Not 100% finished but close enough for now, needs some adjustment of the body fit, plus tire stickers and wheel disks later !

    I've fitted a post from sprue to the front body section with a countersunk 2mm screw to hold it to the chassis, the front wheel disks in place with some Micro liquid tape, still thinking about the Dunlop tire stickers !
