    Go for it Olivier, I have got the Newman 956 by Tamiya in my stash, so I will follow carefully.
    It looks like a nice kit, and I am sure that you will do it well.

    All these old Tamiya 1/24 kits are cool, Olivier, and it'll be .great with the Rothmans livery, beautiful looking car

    I did the Protar version of this car & started but never finished this one. Now I'll see what it should look like.
    Good choice by the way. Very colorful livery.

    This is shaping up very nice mate! Are the harnesses aftermarket? I have been inspired somewhat recently to try building a car and added one to the stash! I'm also doing an e-type on commission at the minute.

    That paintwork is very neat, Olivier.
