Mr.Grumpy: Benetton B194 (2008 Group Build)
i'll start with this one and hope get to at least one more before the end of the season.
kit is from 1/43 tameo. i think someone else is doing the kit in 1/20 - - should be interesting to compare.
i picked this kit because i wanted to add to my world champion collection and also because other than the body, there's only 6 white metal parts! most of the kit is PE including the under tray.
the only downside is there's only one set of decals - - scary for such a complicated livery.

Looks good, never seen a Photoetch undertray in a TMK, should look good, Have fun bending those rear wing elements through those slots though, I had to do one of those once and it is really trying on the patience!!!

willster, funny you should mention that. i was just looking through the instructions and noticed how complicated the rear wing was and remembered how much trouble i had with the rear wing of the B195. should be another interesting challenge - - along with the multi-colour paint scheme and the 4 (!) barge boards - - which also need bending!

Go well Mr G!
Without doubt my favourite F1 car - mostly due to the beautiful color scheme, but also as Schumacher's first title. Will be following this with great interest.
