This is Modeler's 1/20 Jordan 199 F1 kit built up pretty much out of the box except for Tamiya MP4/13 rims/tires and Modeler's seat belts.

The paint is Finisher's Jordan yellow which in person is a real nice lemon yellow. The paint was put on over white primer, wet sanded then cleared with U-pol urethane over the decals. I did three sessions of wet coats wet dansing between each session. The light booth doesn't show the gloss well at all because I don't know what I'm doing with the photography lol. The gold on the cockpit surround is Jordan 196 gold mixed by MCW and matches the gold in the decals spot on.

I didn't use any CF decals, I just gave it the semi gloss black treatment for simplicity sake. I took a few artistic liberties with it in some of the details so it isn't a perfect replica by any means.

The rear wing could have used more attention because the parts were a bit low grade but I tried not to put too much fuss in the build. For any who have viewed Will Chan's build of this kit you know how far I didn't go. lol

Overall I'm very happy with it, I haven't been doing much building lately and my skills are a bit rusty but I plan to stay in full build mode, especially on my F1 kits.

Thanks! I have the S27 1/20 Simtek S941 kit and Fujimi Aventador on the bench now.

Looks fantastic and I actually think the pictures came out great. Although there may not be the reflection you're used to seeing they are very clear, well lit and vivid.

Great build of one of the most beautiful liveries in F1, IMO.

If your skills are rusty, it sure doesn't show. Build looks perfect to me.

Great Brian!
I wouldn't have expected this from you, but then, not surprised to see you build a performance machine like this.

I cant wait to see some updates on that Aventador!
