Porsche 956 1983 Le Mans winner
The 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 51st Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 18 and 19 June
The win was fought right down to the line between the Rothmans Porsche 956s of Al Holbert (#3 car) and Derek Bell (#1). Bell was able to un-lap himself as the Holbert car was slowed by overheating (engine damage caused by an airflow blockage to the radiator that cooled the heads)and finally seized up on the last lap; luckily for Holbert it re-fired and made it to the end with smoke trailing from the exhaust. Holbert crossed the finish line 17 seconds ahead of a fast closing Bell.
This is an old Tamiya 1/24 kit but fantastic quality...i change the decals with a ST27 sheet forTobacco manufacter. I use only Tamiya paint and Gunze H30 gloss...

Brilliant, Olivier, I really like this, beautiful attention to detail and finish.
Great job done there Olivier.
I do like the Le Mans type of car, so much space to decal.
Well done sir.
Splendid work, Olivier. Is there a safety harness?
P.S. Just reminded myself from your WIP thread that the harness was on view. Once again, a fine model of this iconic car.
Beautiful work Oliver. This has been a fun project to follow.
