Superb piece of work James.
Did you chose not to build the engine or do the Revell F1's come without engines?

Lovely Toyota it has become.
Alan McNish is a nice bloke, who deserved some more tracktime.
Sadly Toyota kinda expected miracles rightaway.
oh Jesper, as far as I know, Revell F1 kits do come with an engine.

it comes with a lump of plastic they call an engine lol.. the body is all one part so why they include it even i dont know?... you have to cut apart the body if you want to show it, and it isnt worth showing , these are best made curbside.

Great Work, but I have a general question to anyone building F1 and Indy Cars. The joints between panel lines on these cars are almost invisible in reality, has anyone investigated methods to de-emphasize these on their kits? Mine are always way too obvious on the finished kit. TIA

Good question.
James, how do you knock these out so fast and so often? Every week there's a new model by ya and I just have to know HOW you make time to model. I would have to stay at the bench 15 hours a day to knock em out like you.
Just-a-wonderin',

4 wheels, engine, automotive forum - finished in Q1 - sounds like a good candidate for the MOQ. What'do'ya'say?
