FW12 German GP

Post by bossy122 »

I think I did this one in record time for me! Just around 3 months. This is the Studio 27 Williams FW12 German GP with the low rear wing and different engine cover that Williams tried during practice for the 1988 German GP. I used TS 93 Pure Blue in lieu of those long wrap around decals that are such a headache for me. Pretty straight forward build, I even cut out the horrid windscreen halfway decently....nice! This is FW12, three out of four for me. I used a darker blue on the first two that I wish I could change as I feel the 93 is closer to the actual blue, butI don't think that's going to happen. Is what it is :) .

Cool, nice car!
The blue color fit good to the ICI, I think.

It is a very nicely done FW12!

I always find the FW12 side pod shape a bit odd.

Very nice build.
On the S27 assembly notice, there's also a possibilty to built this car without air box but with high rear wing during the British GP test cession. But I never found a picture of it.

Thanks everyone, it is an unusual subject. When I realized this version even existed, I had to add it to the FW12 collection. 3 down, 1 to go.
