FW24 Tamiya kit question

Are ALL Tamiya FW24 kits like this?
Do they ALL have stands and removeable wheels etc.?

Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

Every one of 'em, even the clearviews.

Why, thinking of building one?

Tempting... maybe a FW24 and F2001 build for my next project :P

But i dont quite get why tamiya made the wheel for this version like the real car and not do it for the Ferrari

Is uncle Stevenski going to build one?:sunglasse That'll be cooool!!:grinyes: I've seen this kit before,really fantastic,definitely the best 1/20 F1 kit ever from Tamiya. So when do you plan to show us some progress?:evillol: 2F2F LOL :rofl: :rofl:

I've been wanting to try an F1 since I started this game.
In fact, I think the F310B and F2001 were the 3rd and 4th kits I ever bought and I also have a 1/24 McLaren Mp/4/5/69 something or other.

For my first build in this genre, I'd like it to NOT be a Ferrari ('cos I'm stubborn like that) and everyone more or less put me off the McLaren when I asked a few months ago.

I came across a version of this FW24 kit in my LHS about a year ago and loved it 'cos it had wires and metal bits in it but the REALLY high price put me off. I haven't been able to find another one like that - with all the extra goodies in there - except a clear view version :( (maybe that one was a clearview and I just didn't notice? :screwy:)

With the Polish driver Kubica making a name for himself last season, a BMW powered car seems like a nice idea. (I KNOW it's not this version of the car!)

I'd ask about AM parts, but this would be STRICTLY OOB :D
(I do have an off the wall idea for the 1/24 McLaren though...)

Be quiet youngster or I'll shout at you again :naughty: :evillol:

I've been wanting to try F1 too! But i prefer revell stuff~ :icon16: I was coveting the revell F2003GA for a long time~~:icon16: But you know, just like Dr.G said: always too much thought but too little time!!!:banghead: :banghead:

the FW24 was the first kit i built upon my return to the hobby one year ago. it's a great kit, and i didn't do it justice. if you can find one, SMS makes a beautiful detail kit for the FW24.

It's a stunner, that detail kit of SMS...

I have this kit in the clear view along with the SMS detail kit. I might be willing to sell if the price is right. Been collecting kits for a while now and looking to sell a few non Ferrari kits.
Please mail me if anyone is intrested.

An supplemntary question.

There is a reasonably priced kit on ebay but WITHOUT tires. Are tyres available as an aftermarket part? Any ideas where they could be sourced from?

Thanks!

It would be a bit of a hassle, bit it's an in-production kit so spares are availble. A new set of tyres would probably run you between 500 and 700 yen. If they're missing also, the tire decals may cost another 200-300 yen. I understand that Rainbow Ten (http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/afterparts.html) has a decent Tamiya parts replacement service.

Thanks - at the end of the day, it will probably be cheaper and quicker just to buy a complete kit.
(apart from that, I just went to the LHS to quickly pick up some paint and came back with a Miuria - now how the hell did that happen :screwy::lol:)

Be careful when you speak of complete (http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=21005).

Ah yes, the Miura. (The Hasegawa kit? Lovely, isn't it?) How does that happen? And just what will we do when TT is concluded....?
