Arrows A8 BMW - GP San Marino 1985 - WIP

August 6, 2014Long ago, I built this Arrows as soon as it was released in 1985. My first attemt failed and the kit was never finished. I simply bought another kit and built the model again.2
August 6, 2014This second attempt was better, and I finished the Arrows somewhere in the beginning of 1986. Only trouble was that I didn't use the correct color: I used some kind of sand instead of beige.3
August 6, 2014This has bothered me for almost 30 years. Now I decided to order a new set of decals, strip my first kit which I never threw away, and go for a third attempt.4
August 11, 2014Next we concentrate on the cockpit. I installed the gear lever and a small identification sticker.5

August 11, 2014And then I fix the body in place. I also install some protective mesh at the left hand side (turbo intake).20
August 11, 2014Left hand side view from the model so far.21
August 11, 2014The Arrows model starts to look like a real F1...22
August 11, 2014This is the last picture of the model before final assembly.23
August 6, 2014I also ordered the correct 'Avorio Senegal Fiat 204' color and sprayed the body with it. The new set of decals was fixed as well. Now it looks like it should...
