G'day everyone.
I've been building Tamiya's old Honda F1 kit and been blogging and vlogging about it. I've just uploaded the Part 3 video to YouTube if anyone's interested - see below.
I'm building it as a 1966 Richie Ginther version and had to buy aftermarket decals as the kit decals were no good.

Thanks! It has a lacquer clear over it (Mr Hobby Premium Top Coat ), but has not been polished.

I've finally finished this kit! The full build is now documented on my modelling blog >> https://www.wixy500.com/build-log-honda-f-1-ra273/
I'm hoping to do another video that covers just the final stage of the build (there are already vids covering the earlier steps on YouTube), but it might be a while yet until I get to finish the edit.
