Porsche 935 Lola Le Mans 1982 #76 Red Lobster by Mini Racing
Porsche 935 Lola Le Mans 1982 Red Lobster
Contemporary drivers accounts of Bob Akin’s Lola inspired 935 special describe it as ill handling and Akin himself is quoted as saying “Good, I wasn’t looking forward to driving it for 24 hours” when it ran out of fuel in the third hour. This is a subject first modelled by Mini Racing back in the 80s and the decals appear to be from old stock so will benefit from exposure to sunlight for a few days to restore their whiteness. The main body is a new casting though and very crisp in resin as usual for this range.

About Mini Racing
Once prolific manufacturer of superbly cast, accurate, easy build kits, now winding down to retirement! Usually resin though some earlier ones are white metal. Interior often moulded as a 'tub' which can make detail painting awkward. Decals excellent. Instructions limited to decal placement but simplicity of construction still makes these ideal for newcomers to 1:43rd modelling. Made in France.
