Beautiful job building the Sheckter car. He was my hero in the 70's, being the first and only South African driver to be F1 champion. I still want to build this kit, hope mine turns out as good as yours.

Thank you. I met Sheckter in the pits at Long Beach back in 1980 and got his autograph. He was just a great person and talked to me for quite a bit. Villeneuve was my hero . I met him the same day and he was not as personable.

Villeneuve was my hero.  I went to his funeral. He was a moody sort.  Used to watch his brother race in Can Am

Beautiful model and a job well done. 

I think the 312T4 is the only Ferrari F1 By Tamiya I have never built or even owned. That may have to change.

There is a saying about never meet your hero as you will see them as human.....GV was mine too and now glad I never met him

 

Great model BTW, she is a big beautiful girl at 1/12 scale B)
