Tamiya 1/20 Brabham BT50

[1275GT]

Hi all. Finally finished, my 1982 Brabham BT50, finished as the no.2 car driven by Riccardo Patrese.

I've added a few details and plumbing to the engine area and ( obviously ! ) chopped the rear engine cover off. The result wasn't brilliant, so I decided to try and hide this but building it into a small dio.

As it's my first F1 build in a very long time, and my first attempt any sort of figures ( bar the odd 1/72 pilot !), I think it's come out ok.

I hope you enjoy it, and any comments and questions are very welcome. View attachment 89122

Thank you for those comments, much appreciated.

Forgot to mention the figures are from the Tamiya Pit Crew set, slightly adapted. It a really good set with lots of bit and pieces included.

Oh and btw, nice motor Tone
