Hello Gentlemen,

Here's a pair of my 1/20 scale Lotus Formula one. One Drivin by Finland's Mika Hakkinen (11) and his teammate of England's Johnny Herbert (12)

Any comments are welcome.

Hi Benjamin

Awesome couple, you've build there. Paintjob and all those decals look really really good.

I have often been tempted to buy some og these 1/20 scale F1 models. How are they like to build?

Hi Jasper,

Thanks for the kind comment!!

Tamiya 1/20 race cars are superb!! It's very detailed with complete engine model and removable cowling. They fit perfect with detailed instruction.

Decal work and paint masking is probably the most challenging part of F1 cars. I spent the most of the time fitting the decals and painting the body. If you never build a F1 before, I'd suggest you started with Ferrari. Ferraris are probably the easiest to build because it's solid color.

I hope this helps!!
