Phil MThanks a lot, yes, i love this era too, every cars were kinda unique and so many iconic pilots.
Daniel KlinkOh yes, and sadly we lost too many of them then or since then!
But nevertheless, these were great times in F1 especially thos3 black Lotus Cars were spectacular and fascinating👍
Kyle DeHartAhh. Gorgeous. I really want to add a 79 to my F1 collection. Love these cars.
Tini HendriksI specially bought round plastic containers with the cigarette brand at the time of the succeses of the JPS. Those were the days 😎😉
Gorgeous car!
Mr JamesAdore the subject. Another great build and a brilliant paint job. This kit is on my wish list, but I need to fill up my talent box to do it justice.
Phil Mlove the kit, but the only downside is the plastic for the body is a bit too floppy and tend to deform a bit and its not very easy to sand and polish, etc...still a amazing model, and the real car is so beautiful.
Tini HendriksThe smokes were also good, in a black plastic cylinder 🚬. Those were the days

Got a lot of problems with this one, first the decals from indycals is an entire piece of decals, you need to cut near the printed logos, otherwise you got all the film. The rear wing was terrible to do because of it. Also, the Olympus logo is printed on a brownish black that contrast a lot with the TS14 I used. The tmaiya decals seems a bit different in color than the indycals one, but not really after you applied them, I should have only use the indycals decals for the John Player logos. I follow the tamiya order and it cause me some trouble...youc an easily broke some small parts when you glue the rear parts behind the cockpit...its better to glue the tiny parts after installing the two big parts together. In the end the result is not that bad, but It was not the most fun build I did. Glad I finish it.
