2018 Gazoo Racing Toyota TS050 Hybrid

[Lobo2me]

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.

I always thought the front end headlight design on this class of car was unattractive.

 

But your build sure isn't. Excellent work!

Nice looking TS050.  Well done.  I have one of these in the stash as well.

They, and most modern Le Mans car sure aren't pretty but the technology is amazing!

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.

Thanks...and....I had zero parts and only three tiny decals left over. Sometimes I get a little dizzy staring at the well documented Tamiya instruction book!

But after the pics....I did paint two of the spots red....so technically I only missed two decals.

That's a lot of nice work! Great job with the many decals.
