How much I have understood there will be version LeMans? How be going to alter a back tail of the car??

This looks very promising :thumbsup:

Looking forward to following along :)

I need to corect myselfe. I will not built a LeMans car but a 962 with Rothmans livery. Because Revell kit just don't give me that detail witch I need to built a LeMans car. I saw many picturies of different version 962, now I will just combinate what I could. My goal is a Rothmans scheme of 962 for hm....friday testing:)

Nice project, i will follow this.

Judging by your photos the blue on Revell´s decals seem to be to dark and on those of Museum Collection(?) too bright.
What would you say?

The complete set from Revell represents the version participated in race in Monza 1986. So it too not a bad variant.:)

I am building this kit also and it is very innacurate. The kit is of an 89 or later 962. The rules were changed in 88 to reduce ground efffects and the top of the ground effects tunnels had to be below the rear axles. There were no Rothman cars past 1987 except maybe one at Fuji that I know of. It would take an extensevie re-work to fix. Alsa the exhaust panel needs to be reworked. Also the rear brake ducts should be removed and the body made level there leaving the hole.

Right about a time...
