2020 Alpha Tauri Honda AT01
Hi folks!
Shortly after I saw this model released here (https://global.honda/motorsports/vir...tml#papercraft), I started building it. And what an interesting build!! The model was at times a bit tricky, but I'm sure more experienced builders will find it very straightforward. I made a few modifications, I split the rear wing (which was a single part) so I have the wing and sideplates in seperate parts. I also took the wheel formers from Robert Blaschke's FW42 and resized them to fit this model. It made the wheel assembly very straightforward, and you don't have to worry about deforming the circumference of the tyres. I might build the Red Bull RB16 sometime, but I'd really fancy to build another car from the 80s/90s next. Problem is, there aren't many that I can access at this moment, especially due to this whole situation. Anyway, hope you like the pics. Stay safe!!

Looks good. I'm working on the 2019 Toro Rossa now. Rescaled it to 1/25 so it has made some of the pieces really tricky. Thanks for the tip about the wheels, will have to take a look at them. On yours they do look much better the Toro Rossa wheels.

I'd love to see your build!! 1/25 must be tiny, especially parts like the mirrors and brake ducts. Good luck!!

If you are looking for older F1 cars try the site below.
There are two types of models some are kits in book form and others are kits taken from a Czech magazine. The owner speaks English and accepts payment through Pay Pal. I have bought mank models from him he is helpful and honest! https://shop.papermodel.cz/kategorie/vozidla-vozy-f1/ Your models look perfect. Have you noticed that when any real F1 car is on display, the tyres always have the makers name at the top of the tyre - have a look at the Honda page :-)) Good luck with the next car! Mike |

I think I've seen that shop before, I might consider there sometime. How much is the packaging/postal cost there? I ordered a 1993 McLaren MP4/8 from a group called Mass models yesterday, and the packaging costs more than the model.. This is why I mostly prefer digital products, because I don't have much to spare, and it's safer on the customer's side. But I really wanted this one, especially since it has laser cut rain tyres. It's always a big risk when shipping here, lots of parcels get lost, even big ones, and there's not much you can do about it.

Thank you, Robert! I'm looking forward to expanding my collection, I'm studying your FW42 kit to have an idea how it's assembled, and I'm hoping to see if I can tackle the model after I get a few things off my desk. I always have trouble glueing the floor, and the FW42 looks like a mighty big challenge for me!!

Excellent built models! I like them all. I created the graphics on this Ferrari 93A a lot of years ago and I'm always happy to see that these models are built and look nice :-)

You did a very nice job on the graphics, I really liked the carbon details!! Have you worked on other kits with GP Team? I'd be very happy to try more kits, I heard from Ales that they are preparing digital versions of the kits available, but haven't heard more news for a while.
