Just finished up the Tamiya Brabham BT46 Alfa Romeo 1/20 scale as driven by Niki Lauda.This is an awesome kit. parts fit well and the instruction were nice and clear. Actually had fun building this one.I included a Niki Lauda driver in this build to add some fun to it also.
Materials I used were;
Tamiya Grey Primer
Tamiya LP-21 Italian Red
Tamiya LP-70 Gloss Aluminum
Mr.Color GX112 UV Cut Clear gloss lacquer
Tamiya Polishing compounds and applicators
Gravity Colors wax
Tamiya panel line accents to bring out detail on certains parts
Also used various Tamiya acrlyics and Alcad 2 metallics.
Decals and tire markings are from Indycals
Hope you guys like it.

Seems that the picture size is a bit off right now. Everything seems zoomed in, maybe it’s just me idk

Nice work!
Very clean build and you've done a great job in making those horrible kit tyres look right. I'm a big fan of including figures in the build, some say it makes it look 'toy-like' but not when the figure looks as good as your Niki, well done!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Next build will be the Fujimi Ferrari F187/88c 1/20. Anyone have any tips on building this kit?
