The Tamiya 20024 Ferrari F189 Portuguese Grand Prix Model Kit delivers a hands-on build for scale model enthusiasts. It reproduces the F189s vase-like body and aerodynamic profile from the 1989 season with careful attention to shape and surface detail.
John Barnard's F189 was fitted with a 3.5 litre V12 and an early semi-automatic gearbox; the kit does not include a working motor but represents these mechanical features faithfully in static form. The miniature components highlight the car's layout so collectors can study its engineering at a glance.
The kit contains finely moulded parts for the narrow nose, suspension detail and body panels that reflect the race car's proportions. Building the model is a satisfying project and results in a compelling display piece referencing drivers like Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger.
