Benetton B192 1/20th
The Benetton is finally complete for now. Later I will sand the tyre seams, but for the time being I am moving onto something new. What, I don't know yet. I'm stuck between another F1 model, one of the many rally cars I have, or a certain motorcycle I used to own in real life, but only if I can get the right colours for the body panels and also I haven't built a bike model for years. Advice I would offer to anyone who is going to build this kit. Test fit all the parts to get the best fit (nosecone especially) Take the time to fill all the visible joins on the monocoque and nose areas. Paint the green areas, don't use the decals. Get the S27 decal sheet. It's worth the extra expense.. Oh, and one last thing. The engine cover does not fit. I tried to fit it on for the photos and it got scratched all on the inside and needed touching up. So again, as per the McLaren it's displayed with it open. Pity really because it is quite a nice shape the Benetton. That's it here's the pictures. W.I.P thread is Here
Any comments, questions, critiques welcome. See you all on the next project and thanks for looking.

Wonderful Job Steve!
I enjoyed watching your WIP. Shame about the fitment but it doesn't bring down the high quality on this build. Congrats!

Re: Benetton B192 1/20th
I still don't like the shape of that car ( especially the nose...) But then that's probably a matter of taste:-)
Your model looks brilliant and the build is soooo clean! Just great! Congrats! |

Re: Benetton B192 1/20th
Brilliant work Steve, lovely shine on that engine cover. Very nice to see a Benetton built as Brundle's ride.
Had you thought of sanding/shaving the mold lines off the tyres? |
