Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2024

Hi Eric,

Yes there is quite a variation in the pre-order price. I found a trusted one in Asia at around US$ 44, which is reasonable.

Re: Lancia Stratos Turbo, Tamiya, 1/24

Hi Marco,

Nice to see your great model of this classic car!

It is a very basic model from the old times. However, you have built it so beautiful. The paint and decal job are top notch.

Thanks!

Re: Jordan Yamaha 192 (Hasegawa) 1:24

A very nicely done Jordan 192. I like the foam over the intakes, a nice touch. I have a couple of these Hasegawa F1 kits. I would say their quality is on par with Tamiya, just in a different scale.
