Toyota 93C-V

[Sabrejet]

First one of 2020: it's Starter's 1/43 kit of the 1993 Toyota 93C-V, as driven by George Fouché, Eje Elgh and Steven Andskar at Le Mans that year. I bought this on a whim without realising it was driven by this trio, all of whom I've had the great pleasure to meet (and get autographs from). So sort-of a personal link without realising it.

Thats a lovely detailed and finished model, especially considering it 1/43.  Congratulations, you should be very pleased.

That's a little beauty - it's great to see more 43rds appearing on the forum, especially when they're this good.

It looks like 1/24, but its 1/43, so you made a great job, it looks very nice

I was going to say something along these lines here. Hard to believe it's that small. I see a lot of 1/24-1/25 scale builds that wouldn't even come close to measuring up to this standard. Job well done!!

Really nice result, I've found the decals in Starter kits can be quite variable in quality, what were they like in your kit?

I agree: I did a tester first and they looked OK. They stood up very well and didn't crack at all. However with many/most other Starter kits I have had to spray a coat of gloss on first and then cut round each one. Moral for me is to always find an expendable bit of the decal sheet and test first.

Very good result,as others have said it's good to see a 1/43 kit on display too.

As others have said, really impressive for a 1/43 scale model. This is a resin kit yes?

Yes, resin with lots of photoetch.

Lovely job, a beauty from an era where the cars were quite attractive.
