Chris Smith Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 Just finished this, about 6 months of work. Very enjoyable. Hope you like 😁 15
bbowser Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Very impressive! The outdoor photography is excellent, easily passes for 1:1. Well done. 1
Roger U Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Nice. A very clean build and clear crisp photos. Beautiful. 1
Bainford Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Stunning model, Chris. Excellent finishes and impeccable decal work. Looks fantastic in the bright sunshine. An impressive piece. 1
Pierre Rivard Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Hope you like? Are you kidding Chris. This build is absolutely glorious and I am completely awed by it. So you could say I really really like it. You always build these complex 1/12 MFH kits to perfection with the intricate details and the spot on finishes. I started following F1 in the mid seventies when they were not broadcasted or even made the news in Canada so getting results meant waiting for Gerard Crombac's Sport Auto magazine to make it across the pond. You bring back wonderful memories Mr. Smith. Thank you!

maysula Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Your work is great! And the car itself looks fantastic !! 1
kensar Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Exceptionally nice model, Chris. Looks very real. 1
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 Trophy! Huge Alfa Romeo fan. Way to go. 1
1959scudetto Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 Chris, this is an outstanding model - if it was presented on a racing (and not a modelling) website, everybody would take it for real! F1 in the 70's had the greatest diversity : the variety of cars in that decade was special and will never be seen again - each car looked different from the others. - - - Today ? .... 1
Bruce Scully Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 This is a great looking build , well done . You are a top class modeller . 1
Dave B Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 Another exceptional build Chris, and it just happens to be one of my all time favourite colour schemes. They just looked so good back then!! Dave B 1
Phildaupho Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 That is one fabulous looking Brabham and I see you are a Martini livery man. I have a friend who is getting his Ionic 5 wrapped in Martini colours 1
1971Hans Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Indeed a very nice model you made ; looks the real thing ! But I've never seen this car before. When was it driven, in which race(s) ? And who was the driver ? Must be around 1980 I guess ???

It never raced. It was the test car and they made some changes to use in the race car, which also had a different paint scheme. The driver was Carlos Reutemann. Im glad you like the model😁
Codi Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 Congratulations Chris on another outstanding build. She presents herself so well and reflects your talents. I loved this car and thread from the beginning and regret only that the she is now completed. What's up next Chris????? cheers, tim
Dave Van Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 REALLY NICE WORK!!!! My favorite era of F1 and one of my favorite teams!! I have the IRATANI version kit but yet to build! Thanks
BrianC Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 A spectacular build Sir! I too am a fan of the late 60's through to the early 80's F1 era. It reminds me that I should start building some of the "good stuff" that I have been saving for my "retirement".
