1/12th James Hunt M23
This was built using the 1/12th Tamiya Texaco-Malboro and an EJAN conversion kit from MFH. It was fun and I just had to watch the movie Rush again.
The car depicted is the 1976 Japanese GP with rain tires. The paint is Tamiya TS pure white and EJAN floro red. The tire decals are Indycals. The Hunt helmet is from Bestbalsa.
I have had this kit around for awhile. After reading Hunt's bio I decided to take it off the shelf and build it.

Wonderful!
Congratulations!!
Question: the sidewall of rear tires looks like it is in reverse rotation compared to front tires . Maybe left/right rears need to swap?
