I received the tires today.
They arrived well.
They are very well made and fit perfectly on the rims!
Many thanks!

As Seema said, it was really a great idea make the rain tires!
I'd like to order a set of second generation rain tires, too.
Many thanks!

I'm sorry to give only now an answer to the comments. :oops: But thank you for your feedback! :D Looks great. Seriously, if you said it was a real bike I would have believed you! I feel that I can improve even more at the photo session... I have built quite a few 1/12 bike kits from Tamiya and other...

Thank you for your comments! :D However I have some real heartburn with Tamiya 1:12 bike kits and it is all Tamiya's fault. Why the heck do they use phillips head screws in highly visible places on the bike, In this case it is the axles. It really stands out. Why could they have not done something b...

It is really good tips!
I prefer loctite, also and what I do to more lifetime to CA glue is to put inside the refrigerator (a good place is the highest point of the refrigerator door out of reach of children.

Thank you for your comments! :D Nice and clean. I worked for Mercedes-Benz when the Cosworth 16 valve was introduced. Fun little car to drive. Sort of a precursor to the present day AMG C43 of which I own one. Dave Mercedes always had / have very beautiful cars, just like yours is a great machine! :...

One more this year ... it's little, but I'm reducing the pile! :mrgreen: I hope to replicate the models of this great pilot have raced. At least with this already are 3 made ... I used parts from another kit (Mercedes 190E 2.5 - Fujimi kit); Photoetched to the seat belts and logos; Scratchbuilt the ...

Thank you very much for your comments! :D The Tamiya Ferrari is a superb model which is easy to build. I build mine some years ago and it's still my best formula one car I ever build. I agree with you! It was a pleasant construction of a very good looking car, as all the F1 cars of that era! 8) Best...
