Tamiya Niki Lauda 1974 Ferrari 1/12 scale vintage 1975 kit

February 1, 2020 · in Automotive · · 4 ≡ · 3.2K

The Niki Lauda build was built for Niki Lauda's charity right after his passing in 2019.

This build was quite challenging, but overall the kit really holds up compared with modern day kits.

I did have to scratch build many of the details and wiring.

I don't like building factory fresh cars, preferring to build models that look like they have been used and abused!

    WoW! Absolutely beautiful! It looks ready to go back out on the course after a quick fuel stop.

    Thanks Jeff! That’s the idea! I hate building showroom condition cars
