Ad here is mine, with the difference that is early season version, used in Brazil, San Marino and Monaco, and that mine is no so great built. Still this is the best of all my models I think
No extra details, straight from the box. No major problems, with the exception of lost "G" letter from "goodyear" decal on front right tyre
Now I'm going in vacation!! Silverstone is waiting for me!!
Best Regards
Sandu

I'm starting to think this is not your 6th car
Your learning curve is awesome and you pulled out a great job on your recent project, mate!
One remark: next time you could try to sharp the zone where the exhaust pipes meet
If you're using TS paints try to paint 10cm from the body with fast passages along the body. Suits me. Glossy finish and no orange peel or bleeding. Needs practice
Nonetheless, you should start to think to a place to dispaly your models, if you don't have one already
All the best!

Such a pure clean shape for a racing car, and that's a nice build too - well done.

Re: №6: Tamiya Ferrari F189 N.Mansell 1/20 "Early Season"
Thank you all for the appreciations!
I had an hesitation whether to spray with clear or not, but thought may be not to do worse because I like it how it is.
