Revell has boxed this in 4 versions so far. Le Mans Mobil One livery, pre-painted body Le Mans Mobil One livery, Champion Porsche livery (as raced in the Rolex 24) and the History Channel version (with decals to do the Le Mans Mobil One version)...There MAY have been a Rohr version...

As far as I can remember, the cars were not given any other name that GT1 ,...the 993 and 996 cars are/were street cars. (GT2 and GT3 were there competition monikers).

hth,
Agree with that... I wrote like a 5 years old boy...
What I was trying to say was the kit Tamiya produced (GT1 1996) have a 993 kind of nose and the other (His channel 1997) remind more the 996 model... of course they are not... but still look like ! I think the kit I have is the last one your taking about... the history channel with his black scheme and as option, the decals to do the mobil one which is a white scheme !!!

I still stand by my point, the Tamiya kit won't compared to the Revell kit... 2 different kit. Very far from each other.

Hope I made myself clearer... but still doubt it !!

Quite nice to know Dragon molded it though !! Thanks.
