Italari 1/12 Renault RE20 Turbo

Hi all this will be my first F1 car it looks an incredible kit and I was led to believe it was a rebox of a Tamiya kit but on following Ron silver911's incredible build of the Tamiya kit I know it's not, I'm pretty sure it's an ex Protar kit, anyway back to the build.

Nice to see these F1 kits on here. It looks like you've made a great start to it.

Nice start and a great kit. I'm right with Carl and will be following all the way.

Keep 'em comin

Me too! Nice start!

My favourite era of F1 with those turbo powered ground effect cars. Remember watching Arnoux and Jabouille driving these, so cool. 

Looks like a nice kit.

Gus, same here and love the old Tamiya line of 1/12 scale F1 kits. Sure wish Tamiya would crank them out again

Keep ‘em comin
