A new release from HPI of the Kouros Sauber-Mercedes C9 from the 1987 Le Mans 24 Hours - the car, driven by Henri Pescarolo / Mike Thackwell / Hideki Okada, retired after 123 laps.

An excellent model by HPI - their series of Le Mans racers are well worth the money. As for the yellow markings on the tyres - I've no idea why, but, they are correct.

The last pic shows the car with my Spark Jaguar XJR-8 (DNF) & Porsche 962C (1st) from the same race.

Incredible detail! It's really difficult to tell this one is 1/43 scale as the engine cover fits perfectly and there are so many tiny pieces and tampos all around. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
