Sauber Mercedes C9

This is my latest car, the Tamiya Sauber Mercedes C9. The kit was built out of the box with no modifications added. This the first Group C car i have built, and i plan on building a few more.

I built the No.63 car driver by Mass, Dickens and Reuter which won the 1989 Le Mans 24hrs.

Hope you guys like it.

Re: Sauber Mercedes C9

that's much better now always think about those poor people who still don't have a flatrate
and anyway i have a display of 1280x1024 and only saw half of the pics...

but maybe you could have cut out the model of the pics, then you would have the model as big as before in the new size (kind of zoom)

sorry for bad english
