Never really was an F1 fan, but from a model standpoint, that car looks fantastic and you did a great job on the build!

Great build sir. I love F1 of all eras kutgw.

[@LarrysModelShop]

That's a really nice build. I really like the older open wheel race cars. Classic in black and gold.

[@mysticmodelerships-bruceke4056]

Thanks 👍

Great looking car and what a surprise! Charlie Mac is the Master of the early brass cars and you’re the master of F-1 cars! Chris from Classic Plastic would have lived this build because he loved those open wheel cars. I really liked how they put the victory markers on the rear spoiler. Thanks for the kind words on my build. Take care of that sore throat Bruce👍

the car looks really nice! which black did you use for it? I have several tamiya 1/20 scale F1's in my stash. worried the decals may no longer be any good. I think there are aftermarket decals available but not sure. but yours turned out real nice. subscribed.

Thanks 👍 gloss black ⚫️
