AMD 1/20 Benetton B190

Post by daveyman »

Finished one. Benetton B190 that I've been working on for a year, pretty quick for me.
Paints are Zero paints, clear is Mr Top Coat. Decals were not good, too thick and didn't like settling down. Size of some of them is dubious too.
Pretty happy with the result in the end, need to get a more glossy finish on the C/F on my next build, a Lotus 107.
Thanks for looking in at my work.

Pictures aren't great quality, I've reduced the size using my phone as an experiment rather going onto my laptop and I may have gone too small.

From what I can see, it looks fine.
Did you go for a specific race version?

It's Monacoish. I chose the green Benetton rear wing and added little flaps to the front wing upper profile but I wouldn't say it was an exact match to Monaco. I'm missing the Bulova decals on the rear view mirrors because they are so small and the decals so thick that they simply would not sit down in place.
Thanks for the kind comments.

Great job! I have the same kit, but luckily it came with the AMC decals in addition to the AMD ones. I will be using Zero paint as well. Which colors did you use? They look spot on.
