If it has to be F1 then F1 is my thought, any scale or 20th and less? Don't please restrict it to a specific model at this point, unless its one I already have in the cupboard.

How about no aftermarket stuff but if you want you could show your skills by making the "extras" yourself eg wiring, brake leads, plumbing etc. Might be an excuse to try home made photo etching and decals.

hey guys , i could get into this but i'm not to sure of the subject your talking about. i've never done any f1 type models, so i'm affraid it would be over my head? could we maybe expand, say any race type race car? or would this be opening a can of worms in the chicken coupe?????? let me know what you all think.

If we are doing any F1, why not allow AM? If I'm going to do a McClaren, I want it to be done right, by jiggers! Mind you, aftermarket is not required. It's all about the build, baby!

I think we should stick wit the theme of F1 .... any car that falls into this catagory.....

Do we want to do OOB, or skies the limit, or limit tools ?????? Just my My 2 cents [2c]

Looks like F1 has taken the cake so far.....now the next item to discuss....I know in group builds everyone usually builds the exact same kit but would anyone like to do different kits...revolved around the same theme? F1?
Just a thought either way I dont care...just giving ideas looking for feedback!

BTW thanks for moving this david!

I'm all for F1. But please, PLEASE don't make me build a Ferrari....

Lotus, McLaren, Williams, Tyrell, ANYTHING but a Pony...I'd never hear the end of it :)

I vote for F-1.
I don't usually do auto builds, but I do have a bit of a love for those finely tuned machines. Any that I have done have been fun builds, too. PLus, there's alot more to chose from ,as far as kits go.
