After finished my MP4/4, it is my latest finished model - 1/20 Tamiya Honda F1 - RA272.

The kit is not bad especially the clear engine cowl which is thin and looks realistic. The fitment is good as well.
I just thought since it is a famous Japanese car that won the Mexican G.P. in 60s, Tamiya put much more effort to make good this kit.

This is looking great.
I have this kit also, but I'm still looking for decent pictures of the engine. Details about the tubing, etc.. Where did you get them?

Nice work, looks perfect! I like the display as well, very nice!

Thanks for the extra pics. I see some machined parts and possibly some photoetch, whose detail kit did you use?

This is great. Nice work..

Superb build. Love the glass plinth too.

Your kit is dripping in bling... is it home-made bling or shop-bought bling :)

as I said over at F1m Mikusen - brillaint work. Just love it, I will have to get this kit no doubt whatsoever.

Looks fabulous!

Fantastic, really, I like the glass base too

Hello,

great work, looks fabulous.

I did not know , that there was F1 cars with crosswise built-in engine.

Absolutely positively awesome. I never thought this subject can look soooo much cool! your workmanship is truly amazing.

I also would like to know more about your photography technique. It looks like the photo was taken with natural lilghting, but it does bring out all the details! Could you tell us the setup? The camera, setting that was used?? Or am I asking too much?.. :)

I have used Canon Pro1 with external flash which set the flash directly to the ceiling so the reflected light providing the lighting to the car.

But sometimes, I will use Picasa to sharpen the picture to get a better sharpness on the overall body. :grinno:

Your Honda looks awesome great paint work the glass base is a very nice touch

Fantastic work, such a nice cleanly built model. Love the display base as well, nice touch.

Fantastic work! The model looks very good.
