Timbo343 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Here's the Tamiya Benetton B192 that Martin Brundle drove. It's hand painted barring the decals and took an age to do, i wish i had an airbrush when i did this, i think it took about 2 months all in all. The yellow is a mix of 2 humbrol paints, i cant remember the colours i used, but i made the mistake of laying down grey primer as a base, i should've used white, it wouldn't have needed 4 layers of paint. I couldn't work with the tamiya spray as suggested in the instructions. The Green is tamiya's park green from a jar rather than the spray. The decals had dried out as i bought it second hand off ebay. When i put the decals in water, they flaked off so had to buy 3rd party decals from Hiroboy. Anyway, its not turned out too bad considering but enjoyed the tamiya kit over the revell kit. It just seemed to fit better.

Jake Moon Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Nice work! The yellow and green look spot on. This is one of the few Tamiya F1 kits I don't have, I'll have to have a look around eBay for one of these. Great job on the decal work as well, it must've taken forever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggers Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Considering thats hand painted, youve done a great job! I also bought this kit from ebay and the decals were the same, all dried out and cracked all over. Nice of the ebay seller to not tell me about that. Again, i also did Brundle, never liked Schumacher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Noble Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Excellent paintwork. Looks sprayed, not hand brushed.!! When building some of the older Tamiya kits I always budget for new decals. Most of them are so old by now they will be useless and cracked beyond repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
