    Pete's 1\18 Heller Renault F1 2004 Yarno Trulli

    Time to throw my hat in the ring.
    This one of the obscure scales from Heller it's a nice kit but the decals are a tad on the thick side hence why I am doing Trulli as I did start on a Alonso version.
    Comes complete with driver and seatbelts but sadly lacking an engine.
    I have made a tiny start but polux gave me the OK to enter it.[ATTACH]299054[/ATTACH][ATTACH]299055[/ATTACH][ATTACH]299056[/ATTACH][ATTACH]299057[/ATTACH][ATTACH]299058[/ATTACH][ATTACH]299061[/ATTACH][ATTACH]299064[/ATTACH]

      Finally got round to making a start along with the parts already started I have painted the four brake discs and put some decals on the rear wing but they are so thick they are almost useless even microsl doesn't touch them,[ATTACH]301152[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301153[/ATTACH] so if anyone knows where I can source some better after market one's let me know.

              Looking good, Pete. 1/18 is an oddball scale, I wouldn't think there were many AM suppliers. I've never seen a Heller large scale F1 car, the ones I remember were the 1/43 Lotus, Ferrari & McLaren ( probably were more ), which were pretty good models, pity they've vanished!

                  I didn't realize Heller did F1 kits as well. Nice start mate!

                  Cheers

                          I am going to shelve this one as I have tried five times to put the rear suspension together and have got more frustrated each time so it's now back in the stash in favour of a revell McLaren.

                              Peter,
                              commiserations - sometimes you have to accept that this is a hobby, not a penance. I've lost count of the models that have been 'retired' due to mounting blood pressure!
