    Thank you. I've just received this kit for my 1st ever Tamiya build. Always like to watch your stuff when it's new to me. Thanks again for doing these videos for us.

    It makes sense to have the interior and bottom of a race car in white, because it makes finding fluid or gasket leaks a whole lot easier for the pit crews and mechanics: many modern aircraft have the undercarriages and undercarriage bays painted white for the same reason. Great build, as per usual; with the quality of their molding techniques, Tamiya usually make things a lot easier.

      Some sanctioning bodies requires the driveshafts to be white to to make it easier to spot them with they fall out on the track

    @dinkuserectus 4 года назад +2

    This is by far the best and most enjoyable kit I've ever done. Tamyia never disappoints. Only problem is they set the bar so high when you go back to a revell or something else you get frustrated quick.

    Great build! I love Tamiya kits so much but unfortunately they don’t make as many 1/24 models car as they used to, the quality of their kits is always outstanding.

    @jerryhocutt3174 4 года назад +1

    The race teams usually buy white vehicles and then put a vinyl wrap on the body. Saves weight and white usually helps keep interiors cooler. Not matching interior or under body saves weight and money. Painting the roll cage just keeps it from rusting away and weakening

    This kit has taken some heat for the lack of an opening hood and a complete engine, and I have to say that I'm a bit puzzled that with all the other fantastic details, plus *some* of the engine, why not just go the rest of the way? But, the built kit looks so good and sits so nice with a perfectly engineered stance and presence, that it makes the engine detail secondary. Great job, looks lust like the box art.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 года назад +1

      It only gets 'heat' from those on the interwebs that don't understand that Japanese and European designed car kits are mostly (not all) curbside models and have been for a long time.

  • @forpointsix4.678
    @forpointsix4.678 4 года назад

    Ford Fact: The majority of race cars are factory delivered as a "Body In White". All you get is just the body painted white. No interior or engine, because most racers would have to replace many of the stock components for race specific parts. So the choice to keep many of the parts white is very correct.
