Fujimi Willams fw16 San Marino
Posted by senna 87 on Friday, January 20, 2012 5:52 PM

I've been a massive fan of F1 for about 2 years and watched it as a young child, when I grew older I started making F1 models, all Tamiya. I've made 8 so far and have 2 1/12 scales waiting in their boxes for me to building them and 2 1/20 scales as well. I'm a huge fan of Ayrton Senna (as if you couldn't guess...) and I've always wanted to build the legendary Fujimi Williams Renault FW16 San Marino car as I feel this will complete my collection. But the only one I can find available for purchase in the UK is the Pacific version (a great car in its own right but not what I want). 

Does anyone out there know where I can buy this most desired car on the UK market?

(And the paints too)

 

Please answer my request.

 

Guy.

Thank you for your reply but I don't use eBay, I do not trust it (bad experience with it)

It needs to be in UK as I live in the UK, importing is too much £££

Thank you very much though Smile

Since most of the folks here are in the States, you might have better luck on a UK-based forum.

Still glad to have you here, though.   I was also a big Senna fan, but my interest in F1 actually started back in the early 60's.  I idolized Jimmy Clark back then.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search.

Try eBay, UK. You will be able to find them there.

I've been using eBay for around 5 years and never had a bad experience with them. If you're into the hobby, you can't afford NOT to use eBay.

I did look on the UK based website forums, not any as great as this one Big Smile

I've also noticed model-making is a more popular hobby is the USA than here in the UK.

I don't know a lot about F1 back in the '60's but my fiancée did buy me the Lotus Coventry Climax 1/20 scale for Christmas and I've only just finished it. It's a wonderful car and was a nice change from the other cars I've built. 

But my model making is on hold for the next few weeks as I am buying an airbrush kit and attempting to teach myself how to use it (help via books and this site too)
