Brabham BT44B, Tamiya 1/12
Another kit finished, in the best racing car livery of all time
It's the BT44B by Tamiya, kit and original car are from 75, I built the current rerelease with etched parts and Cartograf decals (no badyears, I got those from Indycals).
One can notice the age of the kit, there's much sanding needed, bit it's still nice to build.
I used some fittings and braided line as well as several kinds of wire and rubber lines. I painted with Zero brilliant white, Prisma Color flat black and Belton Satin Black from the can, XF56, several Aqua Colors and red/blue metallic Gundam Markers. The clear I used was the Zero 1k type, polished with MM 4k-12k, Tamiya coarse and finish Polishing Compound and Modeling Wax on top.
It's not a jaykay quality model but I hope you like it anyway
