this is Mika Hakkinens 1998 championship car, Tamiya kit plan on adding a bit of detail to it.

 normal i guess no race in particular, im usin the West decals tho.

the plank i used just art acrylics and some pastel. they use some sort of fake wood on the real car so not 100% if it has any kind of grain .

 

painted up the steering wheel. hard ot get a good pic of it tho!
