well guys, I am going to have to back out of this one. I can't justify the 70.00 for the kit alone. I gotta paint my kitchen hehe. Next one for me.

Before I do something stupid. . .again, what drivers do you like Ron?
I usually miss NASCAR races, except for the Daytona 500 and the other Super Speedway races.
I follow F1, Champ Car, WRC, SCCA PRO Rally and if I can ever find them F3000 races.
I started watching F1 when I was younger because they never get rained out.
Anyway, go to www.F1Rouges.com for some awesome pictures and more than a little trashing of drivers!

Interesting comment by IAMCDN about the cost of the kit. I was totalling up last night the cost of getting the Studio aftermarket set, carbon fibre decals, replacement seatbelts and the Compaq set and it was going to be in the order of US$34 plus postage. The kit to buy in NZ is $79, say about $US48 whereas ex HLJ its about $US27 (guess where I'm getting it!!) but all told its starting to become an expensive exercise. But there again I'd like Scalemotorsports 935 aftermarket set (times 2 as I have 2 unbuilt kits) so I suppose this is cheap!

Hey Ron, no insult intended to you. The guy with the yellow helmet in the car is Ralf Schumacher, other wise known as crash-n-spin (Ralf is the baby brother of 6 time champion Michael Schumacher and *gasp* Ferrari driver). Ralf's team mate and better racer is the Columbian national Juan Paublo Montoya (JPM) known as spin-n-crash.
Ahh hell I was trying to be funny, and failed miserably.

Horrible Picture Moe!!
Wrong guy driving. Lord help us if another Schumacher gets to be WDC!!!
Of course that will never happen {knocking on wood}.

You could build your Williams with the yellow helmeted guy driving and have pieces all mushed and falling off. . .well that happens to the little Columbian fellow too. . .

Straight box build on this one for me. :)

Nicholma,
That FW24 is a Studio 27 resin kit! I can't miss a car payment to buy that! My wife stresses over the price of a Tamiya kit, $150-$170 would put her over the top.
I'm afraid it may cause death- MINE!

Sorry guys as usual I didn't check the spelling of the web address. It should have been .html. Try www.cifesystem.com/fw24-1.html I did test it and it works now!

Littlemoe I checked Autocourse 2002, other F1 annuals and various motoring magazines. The differences aren't striking the site adve also shos some of the differences. My preference is for the Compaq decals because I think the red outlines just add theat little extra.

Don't worry everyone, I can take care of all the photographing and posting of the pictures! If your not familiar with my special brand of talent, you can check it out on another thread in this forum.

Just kidding of course!!! Tongue [:P]

I couldn't resist poking fun at myself.

I will be getting my kit in the next few weeks. I need to make some progress on my Enzo first.

Hey Moe,
( I had to do that, love those stooges!)
I once tried to get an F1 car "right" for a race, but there are so many little things that change for each race, some moments before the lights go out, that you are really at the mercy of after market guys. Now I stay, for the most part, to the version in the box, even though these are mostly the cars as run in Japan for some unexplained reason?LOL.
I am in the process of converting a MP4/8 Ford McLaren to an MP4/9 Peugeot McLaren Late Version. Luckily, if I just screw it up horribly I can put the original decals on it and call it Michael Andretti's McLaren from (insert one of seven races he crashed out of here).

Well it would depend on how great the differences are, for me anyway... can you perhaps, set me in the right direction on some of your references???

Thanks a million...

BTW.... that link above doesn't work, sorry
