Tamiya 1/20 Ferrari F189 (late version)

Post by Pete75 »

Finally finished build #2. :banana: Fairly happy with it, errors notwithstanding. Overall I found it quite challenging, not least wrestling with the bodywork in an attempt to get it sort of in line. I think if I were to do it again I would be more mindful about the big picture from the outset, rather than narrowly focusing on individual segments - as per the instructions - and hoping that it all marries up in the end. All part of the learning process. For fellow beginners, and anyone else interested, the build thread is here: viewtopic.php?t=26386

Came out beautiful!! Great job on the paint and detailing. I did this car ages ago and remember the body not fitting either (the upper portion).

Again though, the attention to detail is excellent! :th: :th:
