    Tamiya 1/12 Brabham BT44B

    Found at the bottom of the stash I wasn't originally going to do a thread but I thought why not so here's some of the work already done.

      Peter,
      green with envy - I wish I had one of these at the bottom of my stash - I made a Tamiya 1/12 Wolf last century & I still cringe at the memory of the poor job I made of it!.......................

          Peter,
          it makes you wonder where all these models have been? They've been out of production for years, yet they keep on popping up! Surely nobody bought them as an investment?
