This Santa is Louisbaby and I got this awesome F101 as a gift!
Very happy with it - my on road car tendencies are not a secret...
After starting with a Group C, I built a carbon chassis F102-F103 and another F103 was still to be finished.
This one completes the circle, it's the first (and original) car in the series.
To compensate for all the customizing on the other models, I'll make this one box art.


Thanks a million, LB!

'smart on' well 58084 would be the first 'smart off'
what are the differences with the F102 chassis, looks much the same. Had a spin with my f102 yesterday on tarmac, fast little sewing machine zzrrrrr....

It's my pleasure buddy, I knew you would put it to good use. The best part is it only took 2 weeks to get to you through standard mail...

I'm looking forward to seeing you build it...

LB, I can't thank you enough. It'll keep my on road quest going and complete the collection very nicely.
I was quite surprised when when the mailman rang the bell. Took me a bit to realize it was the package you sent!

Waterbok, I was speaking in more general terms of when the chassis was first released.
The differences with the F102 are not major. Biggest thing is that the chasssis has a slightly different form.
This is a good summary on TC :

The weird thing is seeing that car, and realizing it is now in the Netherlands...

Yes, in the marvellous and sparkling city of The Hague...
What makes it even better is that the car brought some African sunshine too!

It's a nice looking car

I can't help thinking that F1 cars from the past are so much better looking than the modern ones with all their fiddly aerodynamic excresences ... the Jordan is right on the cusp - it still looks like a proper car, but the shape of the front wing & the triple deck rear wing foreshadow what was to come...

A big for LB BTW - I'm thinking we need a "generosity" award along the lines of the "supporter" award ... maybe a giftwrapped box icon? (I haven't forgotten the Bullhead bits he sent me either )

Thank you guys, I do it because that is how I was taught by my parents. Help ours whenever you can, and Honour God in everything you do. Those are the rules I live by...
