Very nice build!
I love your additional details around the wheels and hoses and clips, and the finish on the paint is neat and clean as well! Well done!

Nicely finished car. I believe this is in 1/24 scale.

Hasegawa has been re-releasing its 1/24 F3000 series cars. It has the Reynard and Lola cars in different team colors. They are full detail kits and are quite good.

Very nice, F3000 cars of this era were good looking machines and had some interesting liveries. Can never go wrong with M@r!b*r* tho.

Wow, this looks so good! The colours really pop and I like the details that you added.

I am wondering how close the Lola T89/50 is to the Lola LC88 that competed in the '88 and '89 F1 seasons, does anybody know the cars are related (other than they were made by Lola)? I have been contemplating a conversion from this kit to the Lamborghini-powered LC88B and every time I see the T89 this idea comes back to mind...

Btw, not intending to distract the thread away from a beautiful result, congratulations again!

Oh! If you do not want it, then I would like to buy it :)
Do they have a website?

EDIT: sorry, the one I was looking for is the T87 (which is 1/20, not the T89, d'oh!)
