Like most boys, I started modelling plastic kits many moons a ago. I can remember buying balsa wood plane kits when the wings were covered in tissue paper and sealed with dope. The smell was wonderful. Anyway, now that I am much older, I started modelling again during lock down. I had a partially made Tamiya 1/12 Renault RE20. Stropped it back and started again (not a good idea) However, it didn't look too bad. Now I have started the Tamiya 1/12 Williams FW14b. I had one kit from about 20 years ago and recently brought another from ebay, making a good one from the 2. I have also brought upgrade kits from Top Studio. I have also have another RE 20 and 2 Lotus 49's. Roll on the winter!

Welcome to the forum,nice Renault.
Welcome to the forum Richard
Welcome Richard. Very crisp for an introduction. Lovely work.
Richard,
welcome to the forum! Love the Renault! These F1 models certainly build up to fine showpieces - The only ones I've made recently have been 1/24 - the 1/12 versions a little too much for me - although I've been flirting with 1/24 track cars, as well. You'll find loads of like minded modellers here, but not just cars - all genres!

Richard,
A most warm welcome from me.
I am a wingy-thing nut myself so have to be a bit thick here and ask what physical size the Renault is?
It certainly looks the business.
Can I ask what you use for the metallics (esp the the chrome)? (They are impressive :thumb2
Kind Regards,
John

Hi John. Its 16 inches long, 7 inches wide and 3 inches high. The chrome looks good because this is how it comes in the box, all you do is stick a few decals on it. I hope this helps. RichardRichard,

Welcome Richard, Well remember the Tamiya 1/12 scale F1 cars running for about £12 a time.... Did build the Graham Hill Lotus as wellas a couple of others - pity they were for a local model shop and not my shelf.
