Hello and an intro...

[alesi27]

Hi all from Ireland.

Can't believe this.
Apparently I joined here this day 9 years ago when i posted starting research on my Hasegawa Lotus 79. 3 years back I posted on my BT50.

Been modelling since a child bar a hiatus in my twenties. Do nearly everything (planes, ships, ships with planes on, cars, trucks, real space, almost everything bar armour but even then still do the little Matchbox tank kits with the little dios). Have loved F1 since watching a car race on tv while on holiday at cousins house in Wales as a child. There were all these colourful fast racing cars that looked cool. THEN I saw the two cars on the front row. A pair of beautiful black and gold machines numbered 5 and 6 that made all the others look like mongrel tractors. In 1980 we were lucky to have the national broadcaster show some races as there were "Irish" drivers on the grid (Watson and Daly, irrespective of the flag they drove under.) Nostalgia and available kits have me on a kick to do as many of the 1982 grid as I can. Will be posting questions soon on the best kit/decal combos to achieve this. Thanks for reading.
Roy.
