Re: Nigel Mansell's Newman Haas Lola - 1/20 Tamiya

Thanks for all the kind remarks, guys! Really appreciate it! :D Nice job. I'm no expert, but I don't notice what the "big mistake" is. Did you paint the rear wing elements white, or did Michael's decals cover the black adequately? Thanks for sharing any advice. I accidentally put the decal...

Nigel Mansell's Newman Haas Lola - 1/20 Tamiya

Built this for a friend of mine. 1/20th Tamiya snap-tite kit from the mid 90's. Had to get replacement decals from IndyCals, which turned out great! Has a few "uh-oh's", but why wouldn't it - I built it. :lol: I'm sure you won't have to look too close to see one of the bigger mistakes, but...

Yeah, right?? I've talked with other people and there seems to be no consistency between kits...

Fujimi 1/24 Goodsmile Racing Mercedes SLS AMG - 2015

Having finished up the Fujimi GSR BMW Z4, I started the Tamiya Jagermeister Alfa Romeo 155 DTM - but I had ordered a PE/Detail up set for it and it's taking forever to come in (thanks again Covid!). In the meantime, I decided to start the other GSR kit I had... Have a decent start to this one as the...
