Hi Alex, for the wheels I used Superfine Aluminum from SMP House

Wow, that looks stunning..!!! The colour is superb, really bright, I think you chose well with the colour. I have a few questions. Did you paint the large area of white on the engine cover, I think so, it looks too good for decal..?? What paint did you use for the wheels..?? When you say that Fujim...

Hello, After a looooooong brake from F1 models, I'm finally back in business :D :D :D As soon as I heard that fujimi was releasing the f2003-ga, I knew I had to build it!!! The kit is quite nice although sometimes fitment and engeneering could be a little bit better (IMHO) It looks like its a nice i...

Hello everyone, I haven't built any f1 model in quite a while now so it's time to come back to my favorite modeling genre, since I'm beginning to miss it:) some time ago I started working on Fujimi's F2003-ga (WIP will be posted soon). I am not entirely sure what color should I use for it. I heard t...

did You encounter any problems with the Tyres provided by the Kit ( must be a urban Legend I've Heard :mrgreen: )? I wish it was an urban legend... but it's not!!

Hello everyone, I finally completed this quick (for me :D ) and mostly ootb project. Only changes I made were etched belts and some additional or replaced cf decals. I really enjoyed working on this kit and can't wait to start the Macca or Merc. Like I said in the WIP I built this car to display it ...

One of my favorite Tamiya kits and by far my best work so far is this 1/12 Ferrari f190. It is also special for me because I take it with me everytime I move - so far it has seen 3 counties on 2 continents and numerous shows :D http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww115/Emson667/f190/SNC19739.jpg http...

Another important step, polishing, is behind me :D :D :D Now I can feel that completion is in sight. It starts to look pretty serious now too :D http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww115/Emson667/Ferrari%20F10/58.jpg http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww115/Emson667/Ferrari%20F10/57.jpg http://i711.p...
