Models, text and photos
by Craig Isberg

The model is Tamiya's 1/20 Williams FW11. The engine bay is mildly detailed using various sizes of wire. Modellers racing harness was used in the interior. I built the model quite a few years ago and unfortunately, the clear coat has yellowed a bit making the side pods off white.

Ferrari F310B

This is the Tamiya 1/20 F310B. The engine bay and cockpit are fully detailed using S27 photo-etch detail set, various wires and hoses, scratchbuilt shocks and suspension rods, fully detailed side pods, Modeller's racing harness, etc.

McLaren MP4/13 Test Car

This is Tamiya's 1/20 MP4/13 in the test livery.The engine bay, side pods and interior are detailed. I used S27 photo-etch set and decals. I scratch built the racing harness straps to make them wider as used in modern F1 cars. I scratch built the rear shocks and some of the
suspension components. I used various sizes of wire and hoses to replicate the components. The paint used is Testors orange (the cheap stuff). I used Scale Motorsports CF decals.

Ferrari F2001

Tamiya's 1/20 Ferrari 2001 built straight from the box. I used a mixture of Testors Model Master Italian Red as a base, followed by fluorescent red and clear coat to achieve the "new" Ferrari red. Other than that, everything was painted as per kit instructions.
