Rider Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 This was a 16yr WIP. The engine/rear sus was done 16yrs ago, the rest was completed on a site that is now gone, so no WIP pics.
GTJUNIOR Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Beautiful rendition of my all time favorite F1 car, and my favourite driver as well. Stunning job.
Nacho Z Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Man, Rider, I am really liking the models you are posting. I have a particular liking of 1:12 F1 models. I don't have this one. Is it OOB or did you add things to it?

Mooneyzs Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 This is a gorgeous build. Very nicely done. This thing looks great
Quick GMC Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 This turned out very well. I think you put the intake trumpet screens on in the wrong order. Some are taller than others, to follow the height of the stacks.
Rider Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 This turned out very well. I think you put the intake trumpet screens on in the wrong order. Some are taller than others, to follow the height of the stacks. Thanks for the props. It does look like that doesn't it, the stacks are the same height, IIRC it was mostly caused from me not cutting the screens properly way back then. Thank guys for checking out my builds and the comments. Sorry fo only posting completed pic, all the WIP pics were lost when the forum was shut down.
Silver Foxx Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Real nice work , this looks great , I have this kit , don't know if I will ever get to do it but it was real nice to see your build.
Rider Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks Mike, Bruce. As soon as I finished it I wanted to start another.
curt raitz Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 This is one of the finest 1/12 scale plastic model kits ever produced. I've built a couple of these. You did an excellent job on building it! Keep on building sir...
Rider Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks Curt, I never knew that about this kit, thanks for sharing that tasty bit of info. I have another still boxed in mint condition in the stash.
Hubert Rollins Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Wow- that is a very nicely detailed build. And kudos on keeping up with all the parts that long!!!
Rider Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks Derick, it did have it's issues. Decals needed replacing, no amount of sun bleaching would clear them up, and the body cowl had to be replaced. The original was bowed pretty bad, when I attempted to repair it I messed it up pretty bad.
Twokidsnosleep Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Congrats on finishing it, you have done a fine job! Gorgeous F1 car from when a very cool era of race cars
