Re: Tamiya Benetton B190??

I remember in the 1988 catalogue they showcased the Lotus 99T racing against an FW11 that had been converted into FW11B spec, livery and tech detail. I desperately wanted that to be released.
Took me ten years before I found a transkit for it.

Re: Tamiya Benetton B190??

I always thought it was an odd choice too. Why not go for Williams as they made the FW13B that year, remember when Tamiya made three F1 kits from one year. The Benetton decals are useful tho and the Nannini helmet decals would transfer to the B188. The race suit decals would be different tho.

Re: Anyone here going to the Goodwood FoS this year?

Flemming, that almost coincides with my time of going. I was 1999-2011. The first year I attended, saw Mikas McLaren MP4/8 with bodywork off and accessible for photos. I couldn't believe it was possible as a general admission attendee. That was the joy of the event, the public were trusted to be all...

Re: Anyone here going to the Goodwood FoS this year?

I was hoping to try and get there this year, haven't been since 2011, but things haven't worked out right. Would have been great to meet up with yourselves and any other members.
Have a great weekend and please update us on it.

Re: Huge thank you to MFH

Great to hear this level of customer support and also good that you took the time to post about it. Too often people only post when they have a negative view of a company so it's good to take the time to compliment someone for a job well done.
