Here is another customer build, this is the Roland Ratzenberger Simtek S941 from 1994. Standard build straight out of the box, using Zero Paints Simtek purple and Black. Just the seatbelts are a add ons. https://i.postimg.cc/bNC7HC0P/IMG-20190505-155614.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Dzd55mVG/IMG-20190505...
