Jordan Yamaha 192 (Hasegawa) 1:24
This is my latest build, this is another 1/24 kit I bought from our friend here Pierluigi (Luzne). I started it in 2022 and for some reason got stuck there and left it in the box unfinished for over a year.
I used a new decal set from Shunko because the original ones yellowed. No other after market parts, except for the usual seat belts PE buckles. Oh, I also made from scratch the rear shock absorbers, the original ones moulded in plastic were ugly and difficult to paint.
Tamiya white primer, Tamiya white TS26 + TS44 for the blue. For the first time I used Arexons clear coat and not Tamiya. To my relief I found it is absolutely safe on decals but need quite a heavy coat to get the same shine from TS13. I wanted to polish bodywork with Tamiya compounds but they all dried out.
I especially loved this car livery which I saw in person in Imola in 1992 so here we go:

A very nicely done Jordan 192.
I like the foam over the intakes, a nice touch.
I have a couple of these Hasegawa F1 kits. I would say their quality is on par with Tamiya, just in a different scale. The only draw back is the suspension arms are easy to break. A lot of care is required. I already broke 3 pieces in two models.
They are definitely much better than the Revel 1/24 F1 cars. Hasegawa keeps on re-releasing the popular ones like FW14/B and Benetton B190.
Thanks for sharing the model!
