Re: "W.I.P" Tamiya Benetton B192 1/20th

Nice update. The nose and front wings look superb especially now they are decalled up.

Just checked the Formula Perfect manual but it only goes up to the B193B. From the images I have seen on www.f1-facts.com, the B194 is much more similar to the B195 which Schuey won the championship with in 1995. I have the 1/20 Academy B195 and would recommend using that as a starting point as they are very similar and the kit is much cheaper than S27. Also, it is plastic not resin. They pop-up on eBay every now and then; I paid less than 12.50GBP (inc P&P) for mine about 6 months ago.
