The F1M Forums

I never thought of Revell as an F1 kit maker. Always thought they were punching above their weight, so to speak. From reading your, and other peoples comments about the kit, it seems my thoughts were confirmed. However, the end result of all your work speaks for itself. Great job on a not so great k...

Very nice! Great paint work!

Built this one awhile ago. According to the date/time on the picture info, October, 2019! Jeez, time flies!

Anyway, Tamiya 1/20 312T3 with decals from Indycals.

BTW, what red you used?

Thanks, James! It's Tamiya TS-49, straight from the can!

Got this for pretty cheap (free!) but, as you can see, it needed a bit of work. Sub-assemblies half painted, assembly errors and parts missing. https://i.postimg.cc/76RGDK7T/001.jpg The motor was a sad sight. Block not painted. 8 fuel lines installed for a 12 cylinder motor.
