Sorry

Sorry I have been missing in action for a few weeks. The chores with moving into a new home etc.......My son-in-law bought a Tamiya 1/20 scale Jordan 191 Formula One kit and took one look at it. Then promptly asked me to make it for him. This is my first car kit and I found it struggle especially the 50 or so decals that needed applying.The decals were old and some unfortunately broke up before I could position correctly. I have mounted the model on a piece of "road" as it very fragile. This Jordan was the first Formula One drive for Michael Schumacher. He was on fire in his first race and was snapped up by the Beneton team never to race for Jordan again.

Mike you did great for a first F1 car build. And summer break in the F1 season seems like the right time to do it.

Really nice Mike! I can't recall the last time I built a model car (not HO scale) like that.

Great work, Mike. I know with my recent airshow trip, I got a hankerin' to build a model plane. Have resisted so far.

Thanks Jeff. I have got a few kits tucked away in a drawer. My father flew a Spit during the war.

Thanks Jan I appreciate it. Yes while the tempo has been raised it is not at the levels of say Prost and Senna or Schumacher and Hill.
