Renault RE 23

Renault RE23 pilotado por JP Jabouille em 1980, o modelo é uma variante do RE20. Kit Heller na grande escala 1/12. Renault RE23 drove by JP Jabouille in 1980, a variant of the RE20 model. Heller kit at 1/12th scale. The car was designed by François Castaing and Michel Têtu and designed using Ground effect aerodynamics. The car was powered by the 1.5L turbocharged Renault Gordini EF1 engine, which by 1981 was producing a reported 520 bhp (388 kW; 527 PS). This was roughly 50 more than the 3.0L Cosworth DFV V8 still in wide use at the time in Formula One, though Renault's power did lag behind the new 560 bhp (418 kW; 568 PS) turbocharged engine being used by Ferrari. In keeping with everything French on the car, the tyres used by Renault were Michelin. The driving lineup for the all French team was made up at the time entirely of French drivers.

Tyrrell 020C drove by Andrea DeCesaris in 1993, conversion from the Tamiya 020 kit at 1/20 scale as usual. The 020 was pressed into service again for the first nine races of the 1993 season. Again updated it was called the 020C. For the third time in three years the car ran a V10 engine but this time it carried the 690 bhp (515 kW; 700 PS) Yamaha OX10A. It was driven again by De Cesaris who was joined by Japanese driver Ukyo Katayama. Neither driver would score a World Championship point driving the car. The Tyrrell 020C was replaced by the 021 midway through the 1993 season (from Wikipedia).

Yamaha Virago

Yamaha XV1000 Virago, conversão de kit Tamiya na escala 1/12 feita por encomenda de um amigo motociclista.

Chevy Montecarlo

Chevy Montecarlo pilotado por Darrell Waltrip, reforma feita para um amigo. Kit AMT na escala 1/25 que estava iniciado e faltavam partes. Trabalho "pesado" uma vez que os decais estavam muito amarelados e no kit estava faltando até a tampa do porta-malas (que foi feita "à unha" como dizemos no modelismo).
