With the usual high quality of its products, Tameo Kits has developed a scale model kit of this car, meticulously reproducing its shape and choosing the version that won the Austrian Grand Prix with Jacques Laffite at the wheel.

The precision panel liner tool is formulated with a blend of enamel-based products that allow the paint to flow efficiently by capillary action. The enamel base is ideal for paneling, as it eliminates the surface tension of acrylic products, allowing the paint to flow easily into the details. The panel liner tool features a sharp brush with fewer bristles, which are also longer than those of a standard brush. This allows for a greater amount of paint to be loaded, enabling you to highlight structural lines in a single stroke. The precision of the brush allows the paint to flow around details and into crevices without going over the lines, providing control over the effect. This product is supplied in a 30ml format.
