The Kemp Cobra. I don't know if it ever finished race but it was an interesting project. The last time I saw it it was coasting to a stop at Mid-Ohio at the bottom of the hill.

That's awesome! I accidentally entered a Group 2 car, so this should qualify too. I guess this is more of a Silhouette car group build at this point!

I've added bossy122's Alpine, Daryl's Mustang, and Belugawrx's Mustang to the header post. This is turning out to be a great little group we've got going!

Well guys, here it is. The Nichimo Porsche 935/77
It threw up a couple of challenges, but it was a fun little side project.
Considering the age of the kit, its no show piece, but it turned out OK.
Its straight out of the box with some photo etched brass grills added to the radiators. BMF on the filler caps, mirrors and hood pins. A wire arial replacing the kit plastic one.
Cheers
Tim

I must apologize as this group build just slipped away from me. I'm just not quarantining well.
