Tamiya Ferrari 641/2 F190 # 12030 1:12

August 9, 2024 · in Automotive · · 15 · 168

I did this about 2 years ago, not my best build but I enjoyed it. The tires were a mess all hardened and shrunk up. The seller had no interest in back up his sale and he was in Japan so. Really had no recourse. I found some other tires, they look okay on the car but they are to small. A search found nothing even near to what I needed. I did like the clear body 🙂

Anyway here it is, I enjoyed the build. Once again it was one of my earlier builds so it’s not perfect, also still playing photographic techniques 🙂

  1. Looks very nice, Cricket @bikequeen ,
    You can be pleased with the results of your labors .

  2. Looks really good, Cricket, if you hadn’t said about the tyres I’d never have noticed.

    • @chinesegeorge thanks George I scoured the net for a set of tires but no luck, the closest thing to them was the Tamiya McLaren F1 kit but it was way to expensive just for the tires and I would have want to built it 😉

  3. Excellent result, Cricket! The tires look correct.

    • @fiveten. Thank you Spiros. The tires are way to small, the car body actually sits on the surface, but from the correct photo angle you cant see it, and I never put the decals on the tires

  4. A great looking Ferrari, Cricket @bikequeen
    Nothing wrong with this build from my point of view.

  5. Absolutely wicked! Great build!

  6. Mighty fine looking, Cricket @fiveten.
