McLaren M23

Since the birth of our first child earlier this year and me deciding to start my own business, I haven't had a great deal of time for modelling - although I do look longingly at everyone's builds here. Anyway, I finished this one about 6 months ago. It's the Tamiya re-issue pretty much straight from the box. I used the Tamiya PE detail set as well as some aftermarket decals from China I bought off ebay - the brand escapes me at the moment. These old Tamiya F1 kits are quite good fun for a quick build out of the box.

Tidy build. Looks good.

Not my style but very tidy

That's cool,like it a lot

nice work, I like it

Ah, the good old days when F1 drivers were real men who liked drinking, smoking and entertaining the ladies.

Nice build

Nice Build

Have to agree with you Zen, James Hunt was a ratbag

But with great hair.

I miss my hair.

Nice clean, sharp build. And with great original decals.
These Tamiya F1s are great to build.
Well done mate.

Real nice build Tim , you are still a master modeller.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. It's been fun posting again - I plan to do some more model building sometime next April

Mate....
This looks as good in photos as it did in the flesh. Very real looking which is what I like. Come back soon, we miss you. Brian

It looks great truges. Those old Tamiya F1's are always great to build. It doesn't matter if they are OOB or super detailed to buggery they make good eye candy and yours is superb.

Excellent job Tim, i love the older Tamiya kits and like Fred said when the drivers were men.

cant fault it at all great build
