Tamiya 1/20 Ferrari F189 - Portugese Edition

Post by barryf1fan »

Built this back in, ohhh, probably 1995-96, friend of mine that I raced RC cars with gave me this kit. This was the second or third model I had ever done and was pretty proud of it. It has been moved 3 times and a couple bits have been broken and repaired. Thing has been sitting on a shelf in numerous places, even had a "stint" at my work, but has never been in a case. I got the new spray booth and had to move the Ferrari because it, and a couple of other old F1's, was where the booth was going. I decided to clean the F189 up a bit and put it in a case. It had YEARS of dust on it.

It's the wrong color red, things were painted wrong, the decals aren't protected by anything and I'm surprised half of them haven't already fallen off, but it cleaned up pretty nice. Probably the best couple or so hours I enjoyed this whole week.

Here it is: (and sorry, didn't get any pics of it in Australian Rally Mode.) :mrgreen:

All of us do time in the gutter, Dreamers turn to look at the cars.
