double build: Ford C100 & Ford Zakspeed C1/4 in 1/12 scale

Hi,
after i finished my latest model i quickly started a new one.
This time its the old group C Ford C100 and his later brother the Zakspeed C1/4.
The Ford factory car was the first that raced in the new group c tournament.
But against the Porsche 956 he got absolut no chance.
The whole car was too soft and the cosworth engine was a real vibrator to the car and destroyed parts and the drivers.



The later Zakspeed version with their own turbo engine was a bit better,but still got no chance against the Porsche`s.
But the car won the Interserie tournament with my favorite driver Klaus Niedzwiedz.



Decals are already here.Made by Michael from scalegrafixx.de.



Starting point are the very old rc-body from Tamiya.I got two of them to build both versions.



I will try to use the tires and the resin chassis from my Porsche 956.Dont know if this works?



The factory car should be the easy one.The GWB Zakspeed car needs lots of body changes.
How ever,its one of my favorite cars from Zakspeed as i saw it in real racing against the Porsche.
Any picture from these car would be very helpful for me.I think i got all the published books out there.But maybe somebody got some secret pics on his hdd drive at home and wants to share with me?

regards Christian
