Why a truck in a sports car modeling web page?  When I was looking through the Porsche 911 GT1 book, I found that Porsche was using the transport, which is decorated with in the same kind of weird decals, and that caught my attention.  Then I found out that the kit of the truck is available, so I thought that the transport would be a good companion to the 911 GT1.

The kit is highly detailed, and almost overwhelming for someone who's never seen the Italeri truck kits.  A little modification and proper painting will make this kit an excellent draw at a contest or hobby shop.  I also purchased the trailer since I needed the chassis, wheels and tires.  I haven't decided how to represent the decals, but ALPS MD1500 would be ideal if I can afford it.

I'm using the following reference materials.
Upietz, Ulrich, Der Erfolgstyp 911GT1, Gruppe C Motorsport-Verlag, GmbH, 1997.
