Revell Red Bull RB8 - Finished

Posted by Jason5371 on Monday, December 22, 2014 12:25 PM

Well, here it is. My 1/24 scale Revell Red Bull RB8 Formula 1 car. All it is waiting for now is a clear coat. But, I have to wait until the weather warms a bit to get out and do that.

A special thanks to all who helped me figure out the best way to do the tire decals. I really appreciate the help!

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Jason

Thanks for the compliments! I'll tel you, I was beginning to wonder if it would get finished. My daughters nearly departed cat decided to play ping pong with it on the bench the day after I finished it. Tore off the front wing and left front suspension. Talk about a practice in patience! LOL

I like those 1/24 kits They are often neglected compared to the 1/20 kits. Yours is great!

I agree kenjitak. I really like them. It's also nice to be able to display them beside my 1/24 NASCAR kits for a good scale comparison.

And, thanks everyone for the kind comments!

A Webber build - interesting! Well done, looks really good. I was very close to starting the Tamiya RB10 for the new GB, but picked something else. Seeing the colourscheme now makes me wonder again!
