curt raitz Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 This is a model of the Canon sponsored Porsche 956 Richard Lloyd Racing raced to a 2nd place finish in the 1985 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is the re-issued 1/24th Tamiya plastic model kit #24309, also used the Tamiya Porsche 956 photo-etch pack to finish. It had been a long time since I had built one of these 956's... you pretty much throw the paint, glue and decals in the box and shake - out comes a nice looking model... thanx for lookin...

dog1 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 A message to the builder A question about the engine parts Above the oil cylinder there is another cylinder bent at 45 dgrs pointing out . This part i do not have in my kit yet in the instruction manual page 9 step 17 it shows a vague design of it with a hose attached leading to the end of the rear cowling . Where did you find that part ?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Well done, very nice indeed. I was marshaling at Silverstone Circuit just 5 miles from here, when Richard was testing this car prior to the Le Mans race that year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS It was Richard Lloyd that produced the first carbon composite chassis/tub for this car, which made this car faster than the Porsche factory cars.
