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:

You've made a really nice job here. Looks really good. Well done.

Top Job !

Very nice work. And thank you Shunko, and now Museum Collection for the Hachette 1/24th F1 decals.

Very nicely done, this series of kits by Hasegawa we’re not too bad at all. Great job!!!!

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!

Very nice!!

Super paint job, looks great!

The 192 was such a nice livery, realy like it!

Very nice work!
I'm happy to see this kit built, realy well built!

Ciao,
