Steve, by all means go for it, but don't expect a Tamiya...

As was said, the kit itself is a problem. Very thick plastic and allignment of suspension and wings need work. But it does make for a stunning curbside. I've done this one and the Sauber myself.  That said, I've heard good reportsregarding some of their newer releases. Also found no paint adherence problems.

But back to the topic - great job man! You've turned it out well!

Awesome model. I've only built the Tamiya 1/20 kits but wondered about the Revell 1/24. After seeing yours, I'll have to get one.

Nice F-1 Honda. If only Eddie Jordan could of made that car as fast as it looked, they would of won some races. Great build. Was that a Tamiya kit or the Revell version?

Nice work. How did you go with the paint adhering to the plastic. I read a build review in Scale Auto Modeller when this kit was released, stating major problems with the plastic & paint adherence, or rather, the lack thereof.

 The kit itself is a problem.. :)

I have sanded down whole surface of the model then used Tamiya Surface Primer. No problems with adhering at all.
