Any car enthusiast who has more affection for the car brand that -in 1886- invented the automobile than for an energy drink brand 馃槈
I love cars not energy drinks! And I can't drive a can of Red Bull! 馃槣

It's common among car enthusiasts to collect diecast model cars, I have way too many to mention...
But do any of you enjoy building plastic or resin model kits?
I do. It's a hobby that started when I was a kid, but I continue to enjoy as an adult. This is my latest work, built during the pandemic lockdown. It's the 1/24th scale Mustang GT4 by Tamiya, which I painted to match the livery of my own Shelby GT350.
Another kit from several yeas ago is this 1/24th Porsche GT3R by Fujimi. I was going to paint it metallic black to match my own car, however that seemed a little boring. So I used the Racing Livery that was supplied with the kit. Those decals were a real challenge to work with! But I think it turned out pretty good.
The actual race car.
If there are others who are into this hobby, please post! 馃榾
Formula 1 1/20th scale model kits that I made well over 3 decades ago, from around 1987-1992. Back in the day, these kits used to come with the Tabacco sponsorship decals as standard. Now days you have to go aftermarket to get them.
I still have several McLaren kits from that era unbuilt in storage. Somehow when Senna died, I lost my motivation to make them. 馃檨 But as this year marks the 30th Anniversary of Ayrton's passing, I think it's time to get them done. 馃榾
R RsfThe driver is a nice touch, is it part of the kit or a third party addition?

Finally got around to building one, Senna's McLaren MP4/4 in 1/20th scale, and also an old figure I had stored away that I hand painted to match.
I first built this same model kit back in '88 when it was first released. It actually came out before the championship was decided, so I decided to build it as #11 Prost, since I had just finished making Senna's '87 Camel Lotus 99T. A few years later, I bought another McLaren MP4/4 kit, intending to build the #12 sister car. But as mentioned before, when Senna died, I lost my will to make these. The two cars are 36 years apart in age.
One down, two more to go...
