| Toyota 88C Minolta - 1988 Le Mans I built this car for our club's 2008 LeMans 24 hour build. The car placed 12th overall in the race, driven by Geoff Lees of Great Britain and Masanori Sekiya and Kazuyoshi Hoshino from Japan. I took the full 24 hours to complete the model and was very pleased with the result. I used the Hasegawa photoetch set, although I took off some of the interior radiator grills because you can't really see them. I decided to mask and paint the blue scheme instead of trying the get the dozens of decals to line up and lay down smoothly. I made up a custom mix of mostly Tamiya acrylic blues to get a blue colour close to the blue of the Minolta logo.
