Brabham BT44B, Tamiya 1/12

Another kit finished, in the best racing car livery of all time ;)

It's the BT44B by Tamiya, kit and original car are from 75, I built the current rerelease with etched parts and Cartograf decals (no badyears, I got those from Indycals).
One can notice the age of the kit, there's much sanding needed, bit it's still nice to build.
I used some fittings and braided line as well as several kinds of wire and rubber lines. I painted with Zero brilliant white, Prisma Color flat black and Belton Satin Black from the can, XF56, several Aqua Colors and red/blue metallic Gundam Markers. The clear I used was the Zero 1k type, polished with MM 4k-12k, Tamiya coarse and finish Polishing Compound and Modeling Wax on top.

I hope you like it ;)

Wow... that looks fantastic. Very clean and very well done.

You've every reason to be proud of this job!

The detailing is neat, sufficient to be very interesting without breaking the bank, and the Martini colour scheme really "pops" with the way you finished it.

Well done!

Great, looks very clean !!

thanks :)

awsome build of one of the finest formula 1 cars ever made :licka:
