A little while back I picked up a bunch of damaged old kits, mainly for 2-3 of them but I have decided to try and resurrect a few additional models. Really the only non salvageable model is the Sauber C9 (which I already have an HPI version of) but it will sacrifice it's side windows for the C8. With the blue 935, I was thinking that I would simply recreate the original livery if possible but I cannot find any trace of this from my internet searches. It appears to have elements of the #05 Coca Cola livery, with Style Auto and Toys for Big Boys logos. Style Auto seems to have sponsored a lot of 935s from a Google image search. Does anybody know if this is a real livery? Apologies for the poor quality pictures - I did not take any others as I wasn't expecting to really need them! If I can't trace it, I'll probably just fix it in the Jagermeister livery (assuming my attempt at fixing the broken pillars works) but it would be nice to restore this one as per it's prior livery if it is actually something that existed.

Can't say I recognise that specific livery, but a 935 with pale blue paint and yellow wheels is synonymous with the IMSA cars of John Paul Jnr. Usually though they had a lot more yellow trim:

Thanks guys, I think it's probably something someone did with a bunch of decals from different kits and just made something up. Before looking back at the pictures, I had been looking at replicating one of these - initially the #54 but I think the #18 will be easier as it does not require decals for the wheels, which is a positive. My latest go with epoxy resin did not set properly - not sure if I didn't mix it enough or the temperature was an issue but it will get another go shortly to see if the roof can be reconnected to the main body.
