McLaren M23 James Hunt in 1/8 scale

Lordy what a project this was! The big 1/8 scale kit of the McLaren M23 as driven by James Hunt by Entex. I have been building models professionally for about 10 years and by far this was the biggest challenge! HORRIBLE fit issues, [...]

Progress on the 1/8 scale James Hunt McLaren

I don't normally post pics of building progress, but this particular kit has been a complete nightmare. This kit is from 1972 and is by the defunct company Entex, from horrible instructions to terrible fit and everything in between it has [...]

Tamiya Ferrari 641/2 F190 # 12030 1:12

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, [...]

Ebbro 1/20 Tyrrell 002Silverstone 1971

This one has been built for my boss, who is a major petrol-head. He asked if I could build him a Cevert Tyrrell and as this was lying about I said I would. He just wanted it built out of the box so that was done with the addition of some [...]

1/12 scale Renault F1 car kit by Tamiya

Well here is another completed build. A Renault in 1/12 scale. Don’t let the packaging fool you, these are vintage Tamiya kits with some pathetic photoetched thrown in. Beware that these kits were manufactured before the computer age and [...]

Alfa Romeo 179C

F1 drivers from the past

This batch of 5 F1 drivers in 1/18 scale was a comissioned chalenge 😀 Although not particulary F1 fan myself, I must confess that I really enjoyed painting them. Hope you like too, And know, without further delays, lets meet: Juan [...]

Tamiya 12th scale Brabham BT44

My latest project the Brabham BT44. I picked this up wen it was reissued a couple of years ago. It's an old kit and in need of some enhancements. I've made some parts from alloy turned up in an old watch makers lathe or using simple hand [...]

Lotus 49 MFH 1/12th scale.

I was fortunate enough to get the chance to build one of these incredible kits. It wasn't without its challenges though. The decals especially those around the nose cone were difficult to apply being thick and the wrong shape. In the end I [...]

Tamiya 1/20 F1 SF70H

This is, of course, a Ferrari, in fact it was the Scuderia’s 2017 entry in the Formula One World Championship. Tamiya released this 1/20 scale kit in 2018, and so far, it’s their last F1 kit apart from a couple of re-releases from [...]
