Favorite F1 Team or Driver: Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Senna, Sir Jackie Stewert, among others. I followed Lotus, Williams (because I was stationed near their HQ back in the '80s), Mclaren, and a bunch more
A very old kit so the plastic has become very brittle. The blue plastic doesn't bend at all, it breaks instantly. I tried to make holes for the seat belts using a motor tool. I didn't apply much pressure as I didn't want the plastic to melt but it was enough for the side of the seat to break. So be careful if you have the old kit in the stash. This one had both the electric and the scale engine in the box so I guess it is one of the early ones.
I guess that I am one of few builders that want tape residue on my kit
I needed a strip of Duct tape and some residue of removed Duct tape on the car so I made an experiment. I had some decal film that was supposed to be aluminium colour so I used that for the tape strip. For the tape residue I used some strips of white ALPS printed decals that is smeared out with Ethyl Acetate on a brush. Not perfect but perhaps I can add some white paint to it.
