… but Suzuka and a 100T would be cool!
I'd rather be flying!

Re: MFH for April 2024
ya ,i'am back to Benetton 192 Spa , with jaymtford
Re: MFH for April 2024
What about this then:
Yellow is the national racing colour for Belgium,
The wiggly lines could be intended to be Spa or the “S” bends at Le Mans.
So what about the Derick Bell / Hughes de Fierlant Ferrari 512S as entered in the 1970 Spa 1000Km by Ecurie Francorchamps.
As shown in this link:

Or the 1971 512M
As shown in this link:
https://cdn-2.latimages.com/images/mgl/ ... ns+009.jpg
During 1971 the car was driven by Hughes de Fierlant, Gustave Gosselin, Alan De Cadanet and Lothar Motschenbacher.
MFH have already done the 512S in Le Mans trim with the very long rear tail bodywork which would mean that the car as raced at most other circuits could be presented with just a new rear body shell and reworked rear chassis tubes. New decal sheets and painting instructions would then give the modeler a host of 512S variants to choose from. Failing that MFH could modify the 1970 Ferrari 512S kit to 1972 512M specification which would mean that a lot of the 512S parts could be carried over to the M spec 512.
Here is another link about the car:

Re: MFH for April 2024
Have a suspicion it may well be Schumacher’s Benetton. That yellow colour looks very close to Camel yellow.
The squiggly lines are puzzling though.

Re: MFH for April 2024
For me it looks like the yellow Jordan with Benson and Hedges livery. There was a snake on the car which reminds me when I see that pic here.

Re: MFH for April 2024
Well. I don't think that squiggley line has anything to do with a particular track (as in it is not a curve on a track). What I think is that that logo is based on the company ICI. Now take that and run down all the cars that they sponsored that had a mostly yellow body, and there you have it. Easy as pie.
Williams FW08c, there I did it. hahahahaha.
ok final edit. 1983 Donington Park, Ayrton Senna Test
