curt raitz Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 2nd of two F1 models I built for a collector in Germany, 1st was the Sauber C30 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82118&hl= This is the Fujimi's 1/20th plastic model kit #422-8033 This model does have an engine, but I was unable to get a photo of it...after painting, I popped the engine cover on - but the fit was so tight I was afraid while removing the panel I might damage it...plus the guy I'm building it for doesn't care about engine detail, just wants a clean shelf display model. This is an excellent kit, very precise and well engineered. The paint is Tamiya's Bright Mica Red TS-85 thanx for lookin'...
mariojr Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 LooKs great.... I always wanted to buy one of these kits...looks very detailed
jaydar Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Beautiful! There is quite a bit of debate about that color. What did you use? I have one in the stack to where Massa's number6. Joe.
Rob Hall Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Very sharp build. I have yet to build any modern F1 cars, will have to get one sooner or later...the most recent one in my stash is Senna's '94 Williams.
Peter Lombardo Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Another beautiful build......I have this one too but have made no effort to begin it...one of these years, since I have about 12 Ferrari F1's alone to build.....you sure have these race builds down pat......they never miss the mark. Looks great.
bbowser Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 You sure have these F1 builds down pat Curt. Great model!

Tamiya's most recent Ferrari color TS-85 Bright Mica Red over Tamiya's Fine White Primer seems to be a good match - photo wise anyway, but photos can be misleading definitly is a very nice red...

Nacho Z Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Another beauty, Curt. Question for you. What is your opinion of the Fujimi kits when compared to RoG and Tamiya? Are they just as good, better, worse?
curt raitz Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 Another beauty, Curt. Question for you. What is your opinion of the Fujimi kits when compared to RoG and Tamiya? Are they just as good, better, worse? Thanx Well RoG are mostly 1/24th scale and can be a might bit tricky on parts fitting... Fujimi tends to have a lot of itty-bitty peices, they all fit, but require extra care when extracting from the sprue Tamiya's body panels are a little more forgiving - Fujimi' body panels can be a "tight fit" as I found out on the Ferrari Tamiya's newer kits are approaching Fujimi with the number and size of the parts, both are exceptionally engineered and fun to build
