Hey, that would look nice next to my Revell Williams BMW FW23. And with the usual Tamiya detail this promises to be a great one.

Here's a pic of my FW23:

That's pretty cool, what color did you use for the blue?

You bought a Ferrari kit? :huh:

Sorry for misleading you Ray , H..l no would I buy a Ferrari. When all kit makers would produce only Ferrari's in the future and no more other stuff, I'd gave up modelling!

What?? givin' up modelling? H..l no, I have enough Merc stuff in stcok to keep me busy for at least 10 to 15 years

As long as you don't start questioning me about Fejjajji's, I'm NOT going to get a fever. Afterall here it's 25 °C and sunny. :finger:

Sorry for the OT

Nice FW23 there Marcel34, did you use the kit tyres or replace them?

No wonder why they took so long.
Last year end, it was the Enzo, and now this.
How would the next one be?

[twoninety]

saw it on the tamiya USA site. this is good news.

I'm gonna get one at least.

With working steering and engine maybe

No seriously, it's very impressive.

Question though, is the CF decals or did they just paint it the "Tamiya recommended" way? It looks like it's sprayed.

it's sprayed

I used the recommended 1-1 mix of Revell paints 51 (ultra marine blue, gloss) and 54 (night blue, gloss) Came out pretty cool, nice kit overall.

Thanks, I used the original tires which were pretty good, except for the stuck rubber in the middle of the tire after I removed the "rubber frame" that they were attached to. Revell has improved this with their latest F1 kit, the Toyota TF102, which had very nice tires. Now without a rubber frame. (first thing I noticed as I opened the kit )

You mean a picture of the Toyota?? Haven't been able to take pics of that one yet. I'm waiting until I complete my Tamiya Braun Tyrrell 023 Honda so I can take pics of a few at the same time.

I'm not tamiyarevell, but those pics are from the Tamiya site. The link was posted a few days ago in this very thread (my me). If you wanna go see for your self, click on this:

You've already seen all the pics and the rest is not much use unless you speak Japanese.

The pictures are of the Tamiya 1:20th model, so with a bit of skill (and CFing) that is how the kit will build OOB.

Hey thxs man RallyRaider!

It looks just fabulous!

Of course, you could also go to the Tamiya USA site and read the text in English.....
