curt raitz Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 What a joy this kit was to build...everything fit well, except the dang cowl does not sit down as it should... besides ya need to have it off to see all of the nice detail in this kit. I did use the aftermarket detail set available from Hasaegawa to build this kit, enjoy... this is the view most racers had of Niki Lauda's Ferrari... thanx for lookin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nice work Curt. I don't care what you build I always look because I know it'll be nice with a bit of history to it. Looking at the brake cooling ducts, what did you use to get them in that natural color? They look fantastic. Did the intake screens come from the kit or the p.e.? Really nice stuff Curt!

Chris The ducts are clear parts in the kit, just dusted them with Tamiya's dark yellow the intake screens are from the p.e. detail kit...of course there were only 11 in the box, so i had to make the 12th can you pick out the one i made? thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Really nice clean build. I have this kit, with the photo etch stuff too and the 312T (my favorite F1 car of all time) with the photo etch stuff also. I am looking forward to the time when I can build them....soon I hope. I am sorry to see the fit issue with the upper cowling. I remember the Tamiya 1/12 scale of the 312T had the same fit issue. I want to find a way to overcome that flaw in the kits. Anyway, nice job, it looks really great. I just got conformation that my order of the Williams FW 15 (Senna's last ride)by Fujimi is shipping now.....I am looking forward to seeing that kit. I just love the new Fujimi and Hasagawa 1/20 F1 kits...I am glad that they have picked up where Tamiya has fallen down. Curt...really nice build.

Thanx Peter I just picked up the 1/20 Tamiya F60 at the LHS and found out Hasagawa or Fujimi are coming out with a 1/20 scale McLaren MP4/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys on the F1 Model forum have complained that the tires are wrong...maybe, I can't tell, they look fine to me, but this is a great addition to the McLaren line of F1 cars because it fills a gap that Tamiya left in the 1/20 scale line up...they did this only in 1/12 scale.

crispy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Curt, I looked long and hard at those screens. No, I cannot tell which one you did. Super work. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
