This is the second of the F2 cars i am restoring.
This is the BMW junior team car of Bruno Giacomelli as raced in the 1979 F2 series.
It came to me as a box of parts, with a poorly painted shell.
I ditched the original Tamiya TS-26 paint which is like trying to spray water, and used Renault Glacier white acrylic spray, which covered much better and didnt run all over the place.
I was unable to find a complete original decals set, although i do have them in a spare body kit, i didnt want to split the set so, dispite not liking reproduction parts, i used some repros from Tamkyo-Reprodecals on ebay, which i have to say, look great and stick really well.
I do love the simplicity of the F2 cars, but the engine area is full of detail.
