A couple more decals and a clear cote to go. Messed up a couple of decals though so might be a case of repurchasing the kit. Haven't told the other half yet tho lol

The colour looks very good. Smooth work!


I never built a F1....are they easy kits? Seems the decal part is the worst part...

 

[Guest]

No way of using some aftermarket decals or do they cost the same as the kit


Looks nice though mate, nice paint finish

Like this one even though it's not the sort of thing I'd build, who's the kit manufacturer? Are the tyres rubber?


Regards

Modern F1 cars are not my preference, I prefer the racing cars from the sixties and earlier, but it looks like you have made a nice job of it.

They are about the same price yeh lol. It's a revel kit. They seem to be the main manufacturers of the f1 kits. Tamiya do a couple. The tyres are rubber I wasn't going to rub them down with some sand paper to make them look used. As to the kits. There not bad. Can be fiddly at times but the decals can be a night mare

My last kit a tamiya nissan race car was a flipping mare to do
