1:43 BBR Ferrari F310 Spain GP (Ryuji Kinoshita) JAPANESE MODELER PART 1

It is widely accepted that the Japanese modelers are the best in the world which includes Hayakawa, Momose, Suzuki, Shimoma, Kamimura  just to name a few. They build models characterized by extreme cleanliness, unbelievable details and unparalleled paintwork. These are achieved through advanced building techniques coupled with their culture of trying to achieve perfection. 

Two years ago, I sold my BBR Ferrari F310 Spain GP which was one of the rarest handbuilt model around. I never thought that I'll own another model but this time built by Japanese modeler Ryuji Kinoshita. Unlike the well known Japanese modelers, he's not a professional builder but rather a hobbyist who sometimes commission his work at a famous store Raccoon in Japan. When this was offered to me, I was a bit hesitant because I didn't know the builder. However, after some research and correspondence from the owner of Raccoon, I decided to get it.

The paintwork and details are top notch. A lot of additional parts were added into the model. The previous owner even told me that this model's quality is at par with the other well known Japanese Master modelers.

The base and presentation are typical of Japanese modelers with acrylic, white base. Model comes with a generic blue box.

Michael Schumacher's helmet is a welcome addition and makes the model even more special.
