I've never actually seen a Formula One car. I did see Bluebird CN7 when it visited London once, and I saw ThrustSSC on the back of a trailer in Filton, but never a formula one car.

I really like this one, a huge fan of the classic Hemi Dodges!

Does the kit come already with a battery or did you build it this way?

Beautiful!:guitarist

lol....i post my pics in a few differnt places and a few are not model making inclined........on a modelling forum if you want to use something to show the scale you use a pot of paint by Tamiya, since everyone knows just how big they are cos everyone uses that brand of paint.........but on a non modelling forumlike this it wouldnt mean anything........so i use something such as a triple a battery as thats something which is universal the world over.....everyone knows just how big they are :):):)
