Just released today.

Epson, being one of the official sponsors of the Merc AMG Petronas F1 team, has put their master papercraft designer, Hitoshi Shinozaki, on task and released these two bads boys (both Hamilton’s and Rosberg’s cars). Nice, comprehensive build. Usual, well-thought out and illustrated instructions, beautiful graphics/textures and free, to boot! Looks very impressive, indeed. Enjoy! -J

man, I wish I had an interest in those drivers, that team, that car...
because they look like beautiful models!
I saved them both regardless.

Nice looking car models.
Looking at the pages got me to wondering if Epson sells ink for printers.

Agreed!
But these are big 1/18 scale models
and unlike Canon kits, the pages are without all the unnecessary logos and big empty spaces.

Just had a look at these models - not for the faint hearted

- but very nice looking.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking forward to the challenge of building these beauties.

Outstanding instructions. It almost makes these look do-able

Thanks have downloaded. Now to figure out what the chances are of being able to do them in 1/25-24 scale.
