Re: Pirelli tyres sizes '82-'91 ?

According to multiple sources (FIA, F1 Technical and other forums) tire diameter from 1982 to 2016 is 660 mm (26") maximum for both front and rear tires. It is a bit strange that Pirelli tires are 665 mm for the rear. May be it is just the specified number, not the actual diameter. At least in ...

Re: Video of the Meng 1/24 McLaren MP4/4

I don't understand Japanese. From the image, the author is comparing the body of the Meng kit to that of the Gunze kit. It looks like they are almost the same in dimension. This indicates that both kits are correct. The Gunze is a motorized kit with no details and the floor and suspension are not ve...

Re: Video of the Meng 1/24 McLaren MP4/4

It looks like it is a pretty detailed kit.

It is interesting that the author compares the Meng to an old Gunze kit (I believe).

Mine was shipped from Hong Kong and will arrive in a month or so. It costs me 75 Cdn total, which is a very reasonable price for a detailed kit like this one.

Re: Larrousse Lola LC90 sponsor help needed

The Motorsportimages.com photo shows both LC90 in the same picture. It looks like that Suzuki's car did not have any sponsor on the lower rear wing. It is just red.

Re: Tamiya LP-9 (clear)

Hi Malcom, I have a similar issue happened on acrylic clear. However, before I strip and paint again, the clear becomes clear again after I left the part for weeks. The water in the paint may be able to evaporate with time. Wait so time before you strip it if you are not in a hurry. If it become cle...

Re: Goodone tire size in 1986

According to Wikipedia, Gdyr tires size are 25.0x10.0-13 for front and 26.0x15.0-13 for rear from 1981 until 1992. These are marked with white logo. I check the Modelers' Tyrrell 019 and Hasegawa's Larousse LC90, both in 1/24. The Tyrrell uses Prlli tires and Larousse uses Gdyr. Their sizes are very...

Re: 2024 F1 season ahead

Don't forget, next week's race weekend will also start on Thursday and race day will be on Saturday again.

After that, race schedule will be back to normal, i.e. race day on Sunday.
