Minichamps Benetton B188 1/43 Scale Model F1 Car Review

[@dier2tte]

Very nice model! I love this livery!

[@markporthouse]

Yeah. Lovely!

[@markzebr6463]

Mark, a very cool car and livery. On a different note, have you ever considered doing a video on "the anatomy of an F1 car"? Novices and reviewers such as my self would really benefit from it. Assume that we know just enough to be dangerous....but not enough to be truly informative other than what we read.

[@markporthouse]

Bizarrely enough, I own a book in the engineering of the Benetton B188, but it is currently in storage 70 miles away! I did complete part of a degree in Automotive Engineering and have always taken a real interest in F1 design. So, great idea - I will have to do this, using models to illustrate it. Thanks for the idea.

@@markporthouse lucky to have found you. Thanks.

[@markporthouse]

@@markzebr6463 thinking about it, I think it is a book about F1 design in general with a drawing of a B188 in the cover. But perhaps I have a book on the McLaren MP4/4?

[@Tom_Hadler]

Ha! I keep seeing this for sale for tempting money lately. I think ooh that's a nice livery. Then I think, actually not the prettiest shape....and so I won't buy unless an absolute steal

[@markporthouse]

Ah. I love the shape - funny how subjective it can be. It was a major design decision not to have the engine air intake at the roll hoop, giving the car its unusual look.
