Ferrari F189 - Progress

My newest project! The Tamiya 1/20 Ferrari F189. This is the car that raced the 1989 Portugese Grand Prix and won. Which is also the B car for the season.I will be replicating Gerhard Bergers #28 car on account of him actually winning the race.I picked this kit up at www.hobbylinc.com for 14 bucks. At that price I couldnt refuse it. Also considering I am planning a detailed F1-2000 I figured this would give me some good practice for it. What I have here is just basic mock ups before primering. Which I will do right after this!


Basic mock up with all major body parts. Things seem to fit quite well. Buisness as usual for tamiya!

I forgot to take a picture of this before I blended it in to the bodywork but they had a separate molded piece that was very odd. I do not know why they did not have it modled into the body. It was a chore to sand it even with the body and blend it but I guess it looks alright. You can see my putty work where it needed it.

BTW If this thread gets slow in the future I apologize, school is one of those things that needs more attention than modeling!
