As
with any Tamiya kit, this was a pleasure to build. The only
complaint about this kit was the front wheels. For some
reason, a couple of them were split (they are real rubber).
Very weird.
I
am not sure how that happened, and it is the only time I
have ever seen that in a model kit.
But
the rest was a great build. I think the kit is 1/20.
The
color is Testors French Blue. The wheels I either left silver,
or I painted them silver. This car has a Ford / Lotus Cosworth
engine.
The
unusual 4 wheel setup in front was interesting to me, a
reason I bought and built this kit. Even though I rarely
build any F1 kits.
