Nigel Mansell's Newman Haas Lola - 1/20 Tamiya

Post by aracefan »

Built this for a friend of mine. 1/20th Tamiya snap-tite kit from the mid 90's. Had to get replacement decals from IndyCals, which turned out great!
Has a few "uh-oh's", but why wouldn't it - I built it. :lol: I'm sure you won't have to look too close to see one of the bigger mistakes, but eh, doesn't ruin it...

Had a good time building and thought it turned out decent.

Nice work.

I also built this kit recently and had some concerns about the snap-loc connections vs glue before I started. Those concerns were totally misplaced however, the kit comes together really quite well, makes me wonder why Tamiya only used this method rarely.

Does anyone make an aftermarket engine for this? Nice kit, built a couple in the 1990s. A friend was a Mario nut and I had Mansell Mania bad. Being from Indy, that first 500 of his is a happy memory.
