Good work. I like the fact you have modeled some non-mainstream race car versions :)

Thanks for the nice comments. Glad you like them even if they are unusual subjects.
BTW these were my 12th and 13th FW07 kits i built in several different versions/modifications. And I'm not finished yet!
I love the FW07, a real iconic car for me.

Jens, if you show/share them all, you'd be the main "share holder" of ALL the FW07s seen at 1/20th on the internet. As we well now, people do build (or so it seems) but they don't publish that much.
Tamiya should make you discount...
As a curiousity, what did the built sevens cost? :D

Have you done any as FW07B? (specifically the late season version with larger diameter front wheels and vertical rear wing post)

As I uploaded my pictures here through Photobucket for a while, most of them are not visible anymore. So here are my FW07 kits in order of theire appearance in the real world:

FW07 Clay Regazzoni, first ever victory for Williams in Silverstone 1979. This was only my second 1/20 kit built more than 28 years ago:

FW07B Alan Jones, Zolder 1980, a version without front wing. My first kit with slight modifications:
