Hello everyone,

Finally, after about 5 years (on and off) and numerous huuuuuuge mishaps, I've finally completed one of my favorite F1 cars of all time and a model I've wanted to build since I was a kid. It is kinda 'salvage' project so the quality is not quite the same as my recent models... but it looks stunning in a custom made Senna display case on the shelf. I also built it as a curbside, which some of you might be offended by :wooo: (profanation of a near perfect Tamiya's masterpiece of a kit) but I would keep the body on anyway cause I love the looks and the livery on this car. I am planning to build a fully detailed and opened version of this kit in the future though.
Anyway, moving on to the pictures. I only took some well... moody ones to hide some of the shortcomings








Cheers
Emil

Sorry but the black background is sucking the life out of your model.

Try white or outside shots so we can see what's going on, please.

Thanks Veyron,
I took your advice and shot some outdoor pictures today. It's a bit of a shame though, that although fluored looked extremely sharp and vivid on my phone display, it kinda looks like on those old photos from the early nineties on a pc screen








Cheers
Emil
