Thanks,

Like you guys, I too have the Sauber, Jag, Nissan, and Toyota LM cars still in my stash to build. I also got the old McLarens and Lola's too...

Like I said earlier, great job on the Sauber. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Job well done!!! I've been watching one like this on eBay.

I do have the TAMIYA 1/24 #24310 SAUBER-MERCEDES C9 1988 on the bench.

Don Stauffer-

I have the Toyota kit too! I have other projects I want to complete before tackling that one. Of course there's no rush but I'm thinking this time next year I'll get to it. Youre a very good modeler. I'll be looking to see yours.

Looks great!

Just picked up a Toyota TS020 with a good deal, but it will be awhile before it gets on bench- need to finish the Fiat, and that will take awhile.

Very nice indeed. Always been a fan of Sauber race cars. I hated to see Peter Saubers departure from F1.

Since the mirrors are a different color than the body did you install them first and carefully paint or paint off the car and use brass rod to install?
