latest off the bench, 1/24 Revell Red Bull Racing RB8. Kit is mostly box stock with the exception of the poseable wheels. Color on this is Tamiya TS89 which was developed by Tamiya just for their own Red Bull RB8 kit in 1/20. Kit went together fairly well with a few exceptions. Decals in this kit were extensive and went on with a little solvent,heat and lots of patience. (three days worth) I am pleased with the results and it is a handsome addition to the collection. See comments in the picture captions. Finished kit on my new background. Wheels are Alclad Airframe aluminium. Decals on the front wing were the most involved. There were three sheets of decals and this car is mostly covered in them. Rear wing was a little fussy but went on straight with no gluing. Note the metal clip just behind the exhaaust. There are only two of these and they hold the body on the chassis which actually fit quite well. No glue needed. Carbon fibre everywhere. This was all included in the kit. I highly advise anyone with this kit to do all the CF first. Couldn't resist. The Tamiya version of this kit in the background. Both are painted the same color.
