Tamiya 1/20 Brabham BT-46 Alfa Romeo (*Final Pics*)

Another one to join the F1 collection.
The always-beautiful Brabham BT-46 Alfa Romeo used by Niki Lauda in the 1978 season. This is a re-edition of an old Tamiya model and the decals are great. A simple build and just had to correct the front wing (cut and place in the right position) that was too low. Hope you like it.

Another little ripper Nuno! I wish I could build as quickly and cleanly as you do.

Great work. Nice clean build.
They really didn't offer the driver much protection in those days, did they?

Cool!

I was looking at the box of this kit at the shop and the picture on it doesn't do it's justice, I thought it looked lame. (probably the clear clowl). But after seeing it all done I think it's really cool, especially the side view, Quite an unusual shape for a formula car.

Do you have to handpaint the goodyear markings on the tires? It looks like it's embosed.
