I'm curious - what is so different and special about this vs the Tamiya F189 early season?

I think the sidepods are taller and narrower and the airbox intake is different. Mirrors are different too. Not much, but enough to differentiate it.

Yes, the 639 is quite different.

Same concept, but there are very few carry over parts.

Nose tip is also different. Longer, flatter and more chiselled.

Hi,

F1 Modeling Vol.17 is an excellent reference book for the Ferrari 639! ;)

The 639 was a test mule that never raced. It laid the ground work for a resurgence at Ferrari in the late 80's. The F1 89 (640) was an evolution from it.

Not visible on a curbside model but the front suspension of the 639 is different too. Coilovers instead of torsion bars.
