Lc1 Lancia even makes sense. You're right, could be that easily!

My thought is, which, as a model kit manufacturer is going to sell more models, a Lancia LC1, or a Le Mans winning Porsche 936? If Mr Hiro is in the business of actually making money from these kits? Which do you think?

Having said that, MFH has turned out a number of 1/12 full detail kits of the Porsche 917, but we've yet to see anything in the way of a Ferrari 512, of any kind.
So who knows what he's thinking...

There was no Lancia Group 6 racecar in the 70's.

Porsche 936 it is, 98% the 1977 version.

i would have preferred lancia by miles...
Now for 936, let's hope they make martini stripes with fluo orange (yes i'm sure), and not red like tamiya did.

Give them a few months and they will be releasing the Jules car. All it would take is a few body/chassis mods and the engine out of the 956!!

Someone commented on the Ferrari 512. All I can say is not a LeMans winner! the 917 was and is, twice!! :D :D
