The fourth and final video of this build is now on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM-gHZLual0
(basically what's in the blog, but less reading :p )

I've finally finished this kit! The full build is now documented on my modelling blog >> https://www.wixy500.com/build-log-honda-f-1-ra273/ I'm hoping to do another video that covers just the final stage of the build (there are already vids covering the earlier steps on YouTube), but it might be a w...

Thanks! It has a lacquer clear over it (Mr Hobby Premium Top Coat ), but has not been polished.

G'day everyone. I've been building Tamiya's old Honda F1 kit and been blogging and vlogging about it. I've just uploaded the Part 3 video to YouTube if anyone's interested - see below.

That's a great build, very clean, top job

Here's a build video of a kit I finished a couple of years ago, but only got the video finished now. It's Tamiya’s 1:24 scale kit of the Toyota 88C-V that raced in the Japanese Sports Car Championship in 1988. For this one, I did not use the kit's decals for the base livery, but instead used them to...
