Here's a little more F1 love. Finished this a few nights ago. This is my first model I've built since I was a kid, and I think it turned out well.

F1 gets love here, and let me be the first to give this build some.

I'm liking it. Nice paint and decal work. ULTRA clean assembly. First in how long?

Glad to have you back

Bob

FOXER you...... You beat me to it

Nice work....and I agree with Foxer, the Camel decals make a huge difference. I built that one a while ago....so long ago that the Tamiya decals in the kit had the Camel logos and the Lotus logos. Not so today. Very clean build and your yellow looks just like the Camel yellow....good match. The yellow stands out nice, but those Lotus's always looked better, my opinion, in the John Player Special Black and Gold (biscuit). Always great to see these F1 cars coming out of hiding. Well done. :lol:

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I totally agree with you, the JPS is one of my all time favorites behind the Day Glow Orange Mclarens. Just gives me goosebumps :lol: In fact I have already decided to eventually pick up another one of these kits and make the JPS 98T :o

Edit: That's interesting. I didn't know that about the Camel decals. I guess my kit must have been an older version because mine also had both sets.
