After a competitive year in 1986 with a win in the Sebring 12 hours. For 1987, the Bob Akin owned Porsche 962 sported a new Black and Red paint scheme with Yokohama having more of a presence on the car. The Coke/Yokohama 962 raced in the 1987 Daytona 24 hours, Miami, and 12 hrs of Sebring. Akin started his racing career in 1957 and ended it in 1987 with this very car

The Hasegawa Porsche 962 kit is a very basic curbside kit. I prefer to use the Hasegawa over the Tamiya because of the radiator inlets are larger on the Hasegawa 962 which is more IMSA friendly. I also prefer to have the clear parts separate from the body. The greenhouse of the Hasegawa is a bit on the small side, but it still looks great build up.

For a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial on how to build with this conversion kit, see this blog post I did of the 1986 Version of this car, different paint scheme but same parts.
