This is an old kit, I paid far to much for it a year or so ago. Hasegawa has very recently re-released it and it's quite cheap now 😡
The decals for this one were not in great condition. Purely out of stubbornness I have decided to persevere.

Welcome to F1 building. We all say the same things, paid too much, will finish this if it kills me. Mostly the, "payed too much. Looks good so far. Hope that front suspension goes well.

Yeah, I'm on the home stretch now. Probably not my best work but I'm not disappointed with it. The suspension is DELICATE. Plastic has gone brittle with age and the struts are so tiny. I broke one of the rear ones and it shot across the room, never to be seen again. It is now made of a wiper blade from another kit 🙂

One of these days, you'll pick that piece up with the bottom of your foot, take it to a completely different room and notice it a month later and go, "How the hell did THAT get HERE?!"

Finished. Not a complex kit but still very fiddly. I will stay away from 1/24 F1 kits for a while 😂

They are best avoided, but got a good result, nice job.
