Decided I show this before it is finished, taking my sweet time with it.
This car is being driven by Roger Bolliger. I have changed the fenders, spoilers,
door ...to match the real deal closely. Unfortunately this race car undergoes so many
changes especially when it comes to decals so that I have decided to pick the look I like
the most. Big shout out to Terry Borchers who helped me get the decals right and went
the extra mile, pretty sure he aged a lot more having me as a customer. In the end the result is awesome.
Still have to work on the interior, the driver figure and some final details. 


For view of the real racecar image switch from https to http in the addressbar.

I would be afraid to put something that beautiful on a slotcar track. At least if I remember correctly the way I used to drive  :-[ . That is one extremely nice piece of work, really mirrors the real one very well.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.
