Brabham BT50 BMW
This is the second one of these on the board as far as I know, Zurbert was making the other.

This is the Tamiya Kit of the Brabham BT50 BMW built straight from the box except for the addition of a perfect parts seatbelt set, the crotch straps aren't in yet!, and some carbon decal on the monocoque. The kit builds well apart from the engine/monocoque interface, I would strengthen this up if I build one of these again, basically the model is finished, just a few more decals and the rear wing and she's done. Enjoy the pics, as always comments are appreciated.

I have never seen this car before so I have no idea how it looks like with the body on. Interior, engine, monocoque looks great.

Re: Brabham BT50 BMW
