Full build of Tamiya's 1/20 scale Brabham BT46 F1 car which was raced during the 1978 Formula 1 season by John Watson and Niki Lauda. This car later spawned the famous BT46B fan car, which raced in just one Grand Prix - the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix.
This kit was released by Tamiya in 1979, but still has a good level of detail and great fit. The decals I have used in this build were a replacement set because the originals, being over 40 years old, were somewhat yellowed!

Would you like to see build videos of any other Tamiya Formula 1 model kits? Leave a comment below.
It would be nice to see a 1/12 F1 built?
@@markc7002 I would like to do a 1/12 scale F1 car. I don't have any at the moment, but I've got my eyes on the FW14...
That is an excellent one, along with the Senna McLaren
Got any of the late 80's and early 90's McLarens... MP4/4, MP4/5, MP4/6, etc.?
Ooh! I'd be really keen to see that B129 - B124 conversion. I have many of these in my stash too, so I'd be happy to see what 1/20 you do next either way.
Half watched while having breakfast .. great bud .. again ..
The issue you had with the radiator hoses.. I push a little wire down the tube to you can shape the tube and it takes the stress from the joints ... and mimics moulded pipes realy well
Thank you Ian. That's a great tip for the hoses too-I'll definitely be trying that.
This is Tamiya made in Brazil kit, it was made in the 1990s. I bought one in 1995, brand new back then. I am Brazilian by the way.
Thanks for your comment Thomaz. By coincidence I am actually travelling in Brazil right now (Sao Paulo). No model shops for me on this trip though :(
懐かしいなぁー！！昔、作りました！配信、ありがとう！
Tamiya made in Brasil....saudades!!!
Nice work!!😎😎😎
Thanks Mauricio!
中学生当時、一度作りました☺️おっさんになった今はこのブラジル版とクリアーカウル版をストックしてますが、動画を観てると作りたくなってきますね🎵
You should build it! Have fun :)
I only came across your site today and very pleased I did so. Another very good F1 build as was the Jordan I watched earlier and probably out of sequence - apologies for that. It is very nice to witness such a measured and informative deliver and I’m sure this is helping a lot of people. As an F1 modelling fan, my only genre I’m afraid, it’s nice to see these models getting an airing on a wider platform. I hope you retain the mogo to keep up the channel and Best Wishes. PS MP4/4 for me.
Thanks - I'm glad you liked it. Yes, I'm definitely going to build a McLaren for my next F1 project - and most probably the MP4/4.
Looks like a pretty straightforward build. I've built a few Tamiya 1:12 F1 kits. Tamiya in my opinion manufacturers the best kits.
Yes - and nice to see that Tamiya are re-issuing a few 1/12 scale F1 kits too.
One of the first Tamiya 1/20 GP models I built
Great build! I have the same kit. And the same thing happened to me with the decals. I removed them and will order some aftermarket decals.
Thanks. I think I might do the same. These decals were aftermarket, but perhaps too old themselves.
you should do these videos but with no commenting and just the sounds of you building it, ASMR= channel boost
Haha.....I lot of the time that would feature the sound of me dropping stuff and cursing :) But I've seen the channel which does that and it is quite engaging, you're right.
Please, build them all!
Haha - that's the (long term!) plan. Since this video I've bought more than I have built though...
Whatever you decide to do, keep the boxes. These are now more like valuable antiques than models.
Yep, I always keep the box artwork - love the old-style Tamiya ones.
Apparently it's been about two years since this video was made and wondering if you've improved on your skills. I would use a black wash in much of the parts and found it really brings out the details much more and adds to a realism.
Nice build! I'd like to add some comment though.
Maybe you could sand or trim off the seams somemore before painting?
That would give a far more greater result!
Use some decal softening and setting products to prevent them curling up.
Carry on building, I've got a same sort of stash to convert to nice models to display.
Grtz Han
I enjoyed your build of this kit do you have a 6 wheeled T car to do
Thanks Lawrence. Yep, I've got two versions of the Tyrrell 6 P34 six wheeler - the solid blue 1976 version and the blue and white 1977 version. So many great kits, so little time!
Favorite car
What cement are you using? My knowledge of modelling used to involve scraping off paint on joints but you appear to be gluing over paint.
Yeah...I probably shouldn't but sometimes I do if I think it will make more of a mess to scrape or sand the piece.
Would like to see you build the Tamiya 1/20 Williams FW07
It's definitely "on the list"
TOP !!!
Thank you Frank
Que produto você usou nos decalques e por que não usou verniz?
Bom trabalho btw
I used Tamiya Mark Set and I also used TS-13 gloss varnish.
Hi!
Where you bought models?
For older kits like this, I used ebay.
I first thought it was the fan car.
That was the B revision of this car. Fujimi do a model of it though, so you never know....
O manual tá em português? Haha
Parmalat BT 50 please
That's actually one of the few Tamiya 1/20 F1 kits I don't have, unfortunately. It's on the "look out for" list though....
Zero paints offer accurate colors
Thanks. Yes, I considered those but shipping paints here has issues (cost and restrictions).
Reanault
P 34 please
I'm thinking of doing a double build of the P34 - the 1976 and 1977 versions of the car.
Renault 👍
Thanks for watching, George.
I'd like to see more Formulas. Query - it seems that seams are not such an issue as they are with tanks and planes. Is this a common practice? I've seen negligence of engine seams quite often. What's your take on this ?
It depends on the kit to be honest. Tamiya kits are generally good. Fujimi kits are a bit mixed.
