No, you're not an idiot and the kit looks challenging. Great video, as allways!

[@ScaleMotor]

Hahaa, thanks so much mate!

[@philiph6723]

Nice unboxing video Luke. That looks a really nice kit, but boy do those decals look scary!! 👍

[@ScaleMotor]

Hahaa, yeah, they may give me some trouble but we'll see!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Excellent video and unboxing Luke. Haven't done a car in over 30 years and enjoyed the video. Cheers!

[@ScaleMotor]

Thanks mate! Would you do a car in the future?

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

@@ScaleMotor I might!
When I get a good spray booth. I went through a phase in the mid 80s-early 90s doing sports cars. Last car I did was a yellow Daytona. Always wanted a black Pantera... cheers!

[@michaelcooke2559]

Nice unboxing. It looks like it is a very nice kit. Can’t wait to see you build it. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScaleMotor]

Thanks mate, can't wait to build it either!

[@wordenb1830]

Nice review Luke. It's a lovely kit, I did the Original Teile version with the crazy complicated decals! Well worth adding detail to the engine, really look forward to your build.

[@ScaleMotor]

Thank you mate! I think I will be, I'll keep an eye out for the Hobby Design set, too

[@stephenbillingham7053]

Great review Luke, great kit will look nice when you build it. Thumbs up

[@ScaleMotor]

Thanks mate!

[@BOABModels]

Lovely looking kit, Luke, although I do find the Sportswear livery with the photos of the models a bit weird.
A rebox would be nice please, Tamiya!

[@ScaleMotor]

It is a nice looking kit! I kinda like the scheme, it's definitely different. A rebox would be great, I'd buy a few!
Thanks for watching!

[@BOABModels]

@@ScaleMotor it certainly is different!
You're welcome, mate.

[@dancroke]

Decent review, must get one of these at some point

[@ScaleMotor]

Thanks mate! I'd like to see you build one, too.

[@simonshorey1185]

Nice review mate

[@ScaleMotor]

Nice one, Si!

[@azzt72]

Nice kit. Saw this car race at Donny in 98

[@ScaleMotor]

That must have been a great experience!

[@DouglasWeir]

It's a nice kit to build and I'd recommend the Hobby Design detail set if you can buy one. I didn't use anywhere near all of it but it was worth having for a few bits here and there, the masks for the tyre logos and front grille were a nice to have. It also has PE bonnet badges rather than the kit part. I've also the carbon templates for the kit if you're interested, message me on FB if so 👍

[@ScaleMotor]

Thanks mate, I'll deffo look for the detail set. Also, I'll hit you up for the carbon, too, that would push it the extra mile, too. Thank you!
