Great job on a great cat. Those fabulous LM cars! :)

I never did attempt the conversion of this kit to the LM specs as I don't have enough reference photos, but I think I should give it a try some time. I will decide after I finish my work on Tamiya Sard Supra GT conversion to '95 LM specs. ;)

Hi
A very fine conversion you have done there on a great but very heavy car.

One thing though. I think I can see two seats in the cabin? There's only one seat in a Le Mans car.

Very impressive.
I'm working on a XJ220 GT and before I decided to build the GT version I was considering building the LM version. But I was a bit put off by the extent of the modifications required to turn the standard kit into the LM car.

You did an excellent job. I'd loved to have a WIP of this build...

Just awesome !

Excellent job! I have the same project on hand and I am going to use the wheels of the Shell F40, which I believe will fit this car even better!:naughty:
