Tamiya Williams FW14b Mini F1 1/28  (28004) - Stash Order 3

 

This is the eighth build of my stash bash which aimed to reduce my anxiety of too many kits and not enough time and get the stash to a manageable level of 2. Links to the others at the bottom.

This was another kit I bought near the time of release and failed to paint satisfactorily. It originally came with stickers to put on the kit, but these were long gone. I decided to paint it in the FW14b colours without decals and just pretend it was factory fresh awaiting decaling. Then after painting I thought I'd ask Indycals if they could print a set at 1/28 scale. Mike said yes and I was more than pleasantly surprised that they fitted great. Only the stripe was a bit messy, but this was because I just did the paint scheme by eye so the stripes may not have been in the optimum position. Used the Alcald gloss again by brush, but I think too many layers have left it with a bit of a yellow tinge, again I can live with it. Mike is busy so couldn't print me the Nigel Mansell helmet design that is on the Ferrari decal set he produces when I asked. Though I may try him again in the future.
