I really enjoy the commentated builds, with you pointing out things that didn't work as planned or what have you. Gives us all a good sense that it's not just us having the troubles!
You're welcome. Just today I have ordered a Hasegawa FW14 (not B) so I will be building that soon. I think I will do the early season livery, with the white Canon sponsored engine cover instead of Camel. Otherwise it will look too similar to the FW14B.
Although I'm not into model cars, I really enjoyed watching the build and listening to your commentary....terrific result and a beaut looking racing car.
@@ModelNerd I’d like to see you build a Tamiya 1/12 F1 car. I have two Tamiya kits from way back - Lotus JPS Mk.III and the Williams FW14B. I need inspiration!
@@ModelNerd I have one. I bought it new at a hobby shop for around $200. I keep telling myself that I’ll build it myself. Watching videos of yours, PLASMO, Ziggy’s Desk inspire me. I learn a lot watching you do it. Ziggy is brilliant with the airbrush. Incredible finishes.
Thank you for pointing problems I'm going to find building this model, and for the solution you found as well. Btw, a beautiful built which shows a high skills level.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Gael Angelo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I loved the build. I have a very large collection. Mainly military model, but I have about 45 cars of various kinds and model companies. I love what you did with the car. It was fantastic work. I like to sand down the tires and then give them a coat of model master flat black thinned down to a 10 parts thinner to 1 part paint. In my opinion it makes the tires look like they have been well used on the track and gets rid of the mold marks. Keep up the great videos. I will keep watching.
I put the hub on the wheel and either turn it on a Dremmel or a Drill. Get a good spin going and lightly touch on a fine grit sandpaper until the mold line just disappears.
Same! I remember Mansell at Silverstone in 1992, not being able to get back to the pits on the victory lap. This, the MP4/6, and the Jordan 191 - all time classics :)
Not built an F1 car before. Have done the tamiya lotus 7 years ago and quite a few tamiya motorcycles. Fun fact, I have also rebuilt my lambretta scooter from the ground up and several vespa's as well and I can say with some authority that building an irl lambretta is easier than building a tamiya ducatti. Imo anyway!
Great job on the kit!! Looks fantastic! have you tried decanting the Tamiya cans?? I finally gave it a shot, so I could airbrush the colors in the cans and it's worth doing. Those TS sprays are so much nicer than the Tamiya acrylics. With your talent level you would have no problem decanting the spray cans into a jar and then using them in the AB. Just don't seal up the decanted paint for about 12-24 hours so it can de-gas. After that, you're good to go.
I've considered it, but the whole degassing thing put me off. I was hoping Tamiya would release some of the TS colours in their new lacquer range, but nothing so far.
Sensational build mate .. but a question for you .. have you encountered more fit issues with Fujimi kits relative to Tamiya? I just purchased the Williams FW16 .. how did you find that kit ?
Thanks Dean. Yes, I think the fit of the Fujimi kits can be worse than Tamiya kits, even the really old Tamiya kits which might have warped. I find the engine covers are the worst in this regard: I'm just building the Fujimi Ferrari F92 and I'm considering gluing down the engine cover because the gaps are just ridiculous. But there was a poor fit on the cockpit to floor too, and on the nose cone. I built the FW16 a while ago (before I had a TH-cam channel) and I remember it being OK. Certainly better than this Ferrari. I really wish somebody (Tamiya!) would bring out some modern F1 kits and show us the way it should be done. I guess licensing makes it too expensive though.
Not the first car which Mansell was too big to fit inside! Great build! You gave me brilliant advice when I was building the Jordan EJ10. Check out my channel if you get the chance! Thanks! 👍

Thanks for watching - I appreciate the feedback :)
A nice result in the end capped off by the awesome commentary from Murray Walker - magic!
Thanks Simon. There really is no other voice to go along with F1 footage, is there?
Very nice, you got the very best out of that kit
Thank you Rob
Super job. I normally build armour but have been asked to build this kit for a friend. Some great tips and help here. Thank you 👍

Well done! The early ‘90s F1 cars were the coolest, IMHO.
Thanks mate. Yeah, they definitely were!

I'd love to build the 1:12 FW14 if I could find one for a decent price. One of my all time favourite cars.

Good paint and details wonderful job
Thank you so much 😀

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it
Excellent, I always enjoy car builds from You.
Thanks mate, glad you like them. The McLaren MP4/31 is in progress at the moment.
Model Nerd can't wait! Stay safe and keep on building.
@@ModelNerd this buildup car is perfect.
@@purwantiallan5089 Thanks mate
Such nice work! I liked the end commentary, because I've been watching those races at this time! Thanks for making such enjoyable videos!
Thanks mate, I appreciate your comments. I see there have been quite a few full races posted on TH-cam recently - always fun to watch them again.

Excelent work at this F1 monopost !🏎️
Thanks! More F1 coming soon!
Awesome looking Model, enjoyed watching the build process. Rick
Thank you

Cheers Andrew, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, the tyres are always a bit of a difficulty. I'm always a bit worried about sanding their shape away.
I put the hub on the wheel and either turn it on a Dremmel or a Drill. Get a good spin going and lightly touch on a fine grit sandpaper until the mold line just disappears.
Very nice build, thanks
Glad you like it :)
Well done! I only hope my building skills will someday match yours, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Andrew
I've got this coming tomorrow 🤙
Nice! Have fun! Will you build Mansell or Patrese's car?
@@ModelNerd thanks man , it'll have to be mansells red 5, was a massive fan of "our nige" going to do the mp44 after then prost ferrari
The one from Nigel!! 😍
Williams build up car is perfect...
Thanks
A valliant effort
Thanks :)
Excellent work 👌🏻
Thanks a lot - much appreciated
Very nice!Love it!👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant build! 👍👍
Thanks mate.
There are some ways to decant the spray paints. If you're interested You can look it up.
Thanks. Yeah - for small areas I find it you actually just spray some as normal into a small container and pick it up with a brush easily enough.
My favorite F1 car of all time. 2nd would be Senna’s Marlboro MP4 from 1991.
Same! I remember Mansell at Silverstone in 1992, not being able to get back to the pits on the victory lap. This, the MP4/6, and the Jordan 191 - all time classics :)
Nothing fits like a Tamiya kit! With that said, congratulations on turning a below average kit into a decent looking one. I think Fujimi owes you one!
Thanks mate.
The Tamiya Porsche Taisan doesn't fit that good, with that said all other kits from them I made were fine !
nice one...
Thank you 😃
I started to smoke because I watched f1 .... went through loads of tyres doing victory burn outs.. 😜
Max power generation 🤛🏻

Haha! No fiddly photoetch on the 1:1 version :)
it's my dream to have this miniature/diecast, where do you buy it?
I bought it from Hobby Link Japan (HLJ.com)
Excellent
Thanks Eric
Can’t find the masking sheet 😭
Oh no, it wasn't included in the box?
My fault ... I have a hasegawa kit but it’s not included

what glue do you use?
I prefer regular Tamiya cement (not the extra thin type - I can't stand the smell)
230L fuel tank?
Apparently something along those lines, yes.
That honestly looked like a rc f1 car at first, lol
o....k
Not the first car which Mansell was too big to fit inside!
Great build! You gave me brilliant advice when I was building the Jordan EJ10.
Check out my channel if you get the chance! Thanks! 👍
Haha, yep, I remember the issues with the McLaren when he came back from Indycar too.
@@ModelNerd I've just bought the Hasegawa version. I think it might come with a Mini Mansell but I'm not sure.
Tamiya pronounced Tamier?
Yep :)
WITH DUE RESPECT TAMIYA IS A MUCH BETTER PRODUCT. I HAVE BUILD ONE AND IT TOOK A WEKK TO COMPLETE. THE KIT IS FAR MORE DETAILED
Tamiya don't do the FW14 in 1:20 scale though, only 1:12 (and that is expensive). The
@@ModelNerd that was the scale I did. Very detailed kit, Yes I it expensive but that is the price for a good kit.
@@r.m.9450 you can fit alot more detail into a 1/12 scale model
