Lobo2me Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 As a brief respite from the usual hair-pulling, skull-scratching, cross-eyed inducing kitbash project, I decided to build Tamiya's 1/24 scale Le Mans-winning Gazoo Racing Toyota TS050 Hybrid. No. 8 was driven to victory in 2018 by Sebastien Buemi, Kabuki Nakajima, and Fernando Alonso. Love these Tamiya kits! Thanks for looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I always thought the front end headlight design on this class of car was unattractive. But your build sure isn't. Excellent work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Nice looking TS050. Well done. I have one of these in the stash as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I agree these cars are unattractive but I can appreciate a well done model. This thing looks like a nightmare to build, paint, and decal but Tamiya would be the best one to attempt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I get a little dizzy staring at the well documented Tamiya instruction book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
