Big fan of the Porsche 956/962.  Love the Skoal livery...should look good with your 18-wheeler, if I remember right.

I have 2 '83 956Ls from Minichamps, along with the '85 962C (Shell) by Universal Hobbies.  The blue Kenwood car was driven by Mario & Michael Andretti.

Lemme get in on this Porsche 956/962 series.  The Budweiser car is a 962.  

BTW, Gavin.  The Minichamps 956 features the Rothmans livery on your model.  If you CAREFULLY apply Scotch tape to where it says "Racing," it will lift off and reveal "Rothmans" underneath.  

Also, Le Mans is the only major race that Mario Andretti (My all-time favorite driver) didn't win in his illustrious career.  He came close in '95 with a second place finish.

I was tempted to do when I first got it, but was concerned I'd screw up the Rothmans underneath.  Looks great on yours, Marty.  Did you have any issues?

If memory recalls, it was pretty straightforward and without any particular issue.
