Thanks

Calender 2016

I saw this one coming up at the start of the year (I'd like to try something other than planes).


You'll never guess what turned up in the post yesterday...






I'm currently pondering whether it should have some JPS decals (bizarrely it is depicted as per the 1977 British GP where it had no tobacco sponsorship, but also doesn't have the Goodyear markings which were present) ho hum.

The Lotus 1/20.......mmmmm :rolleyes:


Excellent choice!!

 

[Jambo]

At least there won't be any complex masking on this it's going to be a rattle can of black and a hairy stick for the silver I think...


I'll set a build thread up closer to the time

Not necessary....you can build a 1/72 one Graham :D :D :D

Just found one I really like, Tamiya 1/20. Are these kits well detailed? 1/72 is too small for me lol

I'm no expert but they seem to be good from what I can see. If you're looking at some check out scalemates website as some are fairly old kits re-released with new transfers and some PE parts to bring the detail up a little, when this happens the model on the box changes so it's pretty easy to tell what version you're getting.

im planning on joining this one.......hopefully..........with something a bit off the wall :rolleyes:

I've got 2 cars that will fit the bill but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to build them. I don't want to stretch myself like I did last year.

 

[papa 695]

These are the 2 cars but after looking the Peugeot is from the Le Mans 1991 but the Mercedes is from 1989. There not much of a kit so I think I will knock them together for this GB.

Hi all. I'm hoping to get in on this with another Tamiya goodie! Hopefully with a couple of figures in a small diorama if I can get them\decals sorted.


Cheers, Neil
