This detail set if for Tamiya's new F1 F60 car kit. It incorporates three frets of etched metal parts. The fret for the wing and aerodynamic body parts is relatively heavy, which should make these parts more resistant to breakage and warping as well as being more in scale. The other detail parts on the two remaining frets are of lighter material, not brass, but seem to be a light steel or perhaps aluminum alloy. As a nice touch, a Bridgestone tire painting template is included which would be useful for many other kits that do not include pre-painted Bridgestone tires.

The instruction sheet is one fold out, black and white set of diagrams. There are a few "instructions" next to certain parts, e.g., "cut off"; "smoothen" (sic); etc. The drawings are all well done and clear. There are many very small detail parts to be manipulated, such as the seat harness buckle/lock attachments. While I would not attempt this, if done correctly, it would add significant "whomp!" to the model.

If you love Formula One kits, and have, or plan to get, Tamiya's new F60 kit, you might want to include this detail set in your build.

Thanks to Hobby Design and IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review this set.
