Interesting. I wonder what is motivating the production of this movie? This year will be 30 years since his passing. Maybe, timing?

Cool. I saw this car race at Watkin Glen in 1980. IMO, if you look closely one can see that this chassis was the forerunner of the Ferrari 126C2. Makes sense, since Dr. Harvey Postlethwaite designed both vehicles!

I just follow two rules:

Buyer beware.
Seller beware

Unfortunate, but you have to be vigilant.

Well, it is certainly different. If Meng is enthusiatic about Senna how about a 1/12th MP4/5B to complement Tamiya's Ferrari 641.

I'm a happy man ! And, I'm going to enjoy building this model.

Ditto, for me as well.

For me, the releases of the Meng MP4/4 and Beemax Lotus 99T satisfies my modeling need. The only one I am interested in next is the Beemax MP4/4.

incredibly high tool prices, licenses and so on...

I don't think it's really lucrative for the manufacturers Tamiya and Co at the moment.

I agree. If Tamiya is not doing it they have done the research to determine it is not a value proposition.

Post on the wanted list in the forum. You might find someone willing to sell some extra kits.

Is this the Olivier Gendebian car?

Hope, so. The story is one I tell my kids. My daughter watched the movie and shocked at the crash. She noted it is incredible how safe F1 cars are now.
