Instructions Manual of the AMD's Brabham BT44B

Hi, I bought a kit from the model to epigraph, but unfortunately the same does not have the instruction manual (the seller had already warned me). I printed the instruction manual of the Tamiya kit but some parts I could not identify in the kit that I bought. Then, I would like to know if someone ha...

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2019

Hi James B,

Even the old releases of S27 and ACE, here in Brazil can reach stratospheric prices. We have one of the highest import taxes in the world (60% of product price plus freight). With this any kit of the two manufacturers above are always above US $ 500.00.

Best regards.

Carlos.

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2019

Hi stubeck,

I already thought of this possibility but the price to pay for this kit is very expensive for me. I think I'll keep waiting for some manufacturer to release this model.

Anyway thank you very much for your reply. Best regards

Carlos.

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2019

A :D nyone know if there is any company interested in releasing the Brabham BT44B in 1/20? I find this car very beautiful, in addition to being piloted by Jose Carlos Pace, a great pilot who died in the 70's in a helicopter crash. I think this model, if it were made, would sell very well.

Re: My Favorite Masking Tapes ...

hi Andrey,

The paint was dry, in fact the piece was painted a week before I applied the masking tape. I've already noted that the problem don't occur when the paint is semi gloss ou matt.
Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Re: My Favorite Masking Tapes ...

Gearbox.jpg Hi Mr. Budzik, I've seen your video about masking tape, and I'd like to ask you for an explanation of what might be going on. I covered part of a piece with Tamiya tape to apply the second color and when I removed the tape the piece was all marked with what I think is the tape sticker. ...

I wonder if anyone knows the paint code of this blue. By the way someone has any photo of the chevy engine and the sid...
