Re: Build Diary: Ferrari 643

Five years :shock: after finishing this kit, I've created a YouTube video of the build - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7c4UHhWxR4

Re: Ferrari F1-89, Tameo 1:43

Hi everyone. FYI, I've now put together a YouTube video of the build of this model. It's more or less what's on the blog page, but I know some people prefer to watch and listen instead of having to read. Enjoy! (and learn from my mistakes :p )

Re: Nigel Mansell's Newman Haas Lola - 1/20 Tamiya

I'm not really a fan of snap-lock kits, but credit where credit is due, Tamiya did a pretty good job on those 2 Indycars and they build into nice looking models, as evidenced by your build. When I did the Mansell car I used a little glue in a few places just for added security.

Re: Tyrrell 023 Yamaha (Tamiya 1:20)

Hi everyone. I've now done a video version of the 'build diary' for this model explaining how I did the build and issues I encountered. The first part is now on YouTube; hope to have the second part done in about a week.

Ferrari F1-89, Tameo 1:43

Hi everyone. I've just finished this Tameo kit of Nigel Mansell's Brazil GP winning Ferrari from 1989. This is the original release of this kit, TMK kit # 089.
