Sauber-Mercedes C-9

this has spent far too many years in the stash, finally its time has come lol....Revell kit of the Merc C-9
not the greatest detailed kit and im going to have to use Revell paint, to get the right shade, which im not to happy about
im not going to do the Kouros version as on the box art......theres an alternative in the box for the Mike Thackwell/Johnny Dumfries/Henri Pescarolo car for the Nurburgring round of the 1987 World Sportscar Championship ......they ended up as a DNF after 130+ laps but i like the paint job better......should look like this

Looks a fun little kit. No engine to worry about.

Looks like quite a simple kit Paul. Should go quickly.
I'd be hard pressed to choose between those liveries.

Nice. Almost looks like its molded in the correct color. Could it get by with just a polishing?

Very sleek and speedy looking styling. I agree with your choice of livery - having 'eau de toilette' on the side gives it a bit of a Monty Python-esque note but not in a complimentary way, lol. Kind of like having Marmite as a major sponsor for F-1.
