Kodiopa Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hello, I completed the F189, a Ferrari F1 car of the era that had a V12 engine. (The sound of the engine at this time was awesome.) Even though it was a Tamya kit, it was difficult to fit the upper and lower cowls. Except for that part, I had a lot of fun working on it. The line of this car is so cool, and Italian Red's Ferrari is always beautiful, whether it's a real car or a model car. The decals in the kit were old and unusable, so I used decals released by MSM. You can check the revised and added parts through the video. I hope you like it. Thank you. Full build video is here. 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 That join between the upper and lower halves is well known as a problem area with this kit. I have to say that yours look sooooo much better than the one I build back in the day - good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Well done The upper and lower panel fit is a known issue on these kits, but you seem to have made a better job than most I've seen (including mine) in disguising the fact Nice paint job and photography as well Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also spent a lot of time trying to fix this problem. It might be an easier option to buy two kits and make one close and one open. Anyway, magnets have been quite helpful in solving this problem. Thank you, Spiny Thank you. Redstaff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
