just started for a building competition on a french forum, i want to share you this project, a part of Renault F1 story; the R23 F1, secretly concepted in 2001, before Renault join again F1 world challenge in 2002. the car was efficient in 2003, and gave to young Fernando Alonso pilot the opportunity to start his carrier as winner of Hungria Grand Prix, the younger winner of F1 story.
with only 600 kgs weight and a new V10 engine, the R23 was a revolution in F1 cars story. but Renault F1 Team waited 2005 to be the world F1 winner as factory, and Alonso to be winner world F1 pilot, a score winned again in 2006.
the kit is Revell 2004, not so bad but need upgrade and scratch to be conform.
specially, aerodynamic parts need to be thin. so i scratch lower piece and rear flap panel
the original part from Revell
