| This issue opens with a brief coverage of the
opening round of 2005, as well as a beautiful built-up of Tamya's Ferrari
F2001 kit by Mr. Kamimura, a computational fluid dynamics article and the
part 2 of Lotus 79 special coverage, featuring 16 pages of factory drawings.
With the Volume 23, it's the ultimate Lotus 79 reference. This issue mainly contains the followings, but includes many more small articles that accompany close-up photos. New Car Launch
Giogio Piora's Technical Drawings 2005 Rd.1 (12 pages) Under the Microscope!

| The Volume 23 strongly suggests how much the
F1 Modeling editorial staffs favor the Team Lotus. Nearly a half of the
magazine is used for the lotus, with tons of lose up photos of the Lotus
Type 79. The featured model kit is a 1/43 scale Williams FW16, and it's the
2nd part of the article. This volume also has an interesting photo
collection of the illustrated massages on the EJ14 this year, showing all 18
images on the side of the intake pod of the car. This issue closes with the
usual close-up photo collections. Again, this issue has many informative
photos and drawings, but this issue is strongly recommended to those who're
making or going to make the Lotus 79. Close up photos included in this issue are as follows. Lotus 79 Special (Part 1)

| Despite the cover design, the Volume 22 of F1
Modeling equally features the 2004 season and the 50th anniversary of the
Team Lotus. The modern cars are covered in the usual fashion, while the
Lotus coverage are mainly interviews and some photos. The model of the month
is the Williams FW16 by Mr. Kamimura, and it's the part 1 of 2. This issue
also covers a testing scene of the three McLaren Hondas, the MP4/4, MP4/5
and MP4/6, by the Honda Collection museum staffs. I didn't find any
improvements or differences, but for all F1 modelers, this is another
must-buy. Close up photos included in this issue are as follows. Special Feature

| Volume 21 is dedicate to the detail fanatics,
containing two reference section--close-up photos and Mr. Piora's drawings.
Also included is a fixed-camera observations of Ferrari, Renault, BAR and
Williams at the Monaco GP. The model section features Mr. Kamimura's 1/43
scale Ferrari 126C3. This issue also has close-up photos of two Mercedes
support cars, one for the CLK55 based safety car, and the other for the AMG
C32 Wagon based medical car. This issue is priced at 1800 yen, 300 yen
higher than the other issues, and it's because it includes a DVD. It
contains footages of new car presentations, but the cars are pretty much
stationary, so it's not that interesting--certainly not the only
reason to buy this issue. But, the magazine itself contains high-quality
photos, and is well-worth buying as always. Close up photos included in this issue are as follows.

| This issue of F1 Modeling is a response to
fervent requests from the fans of the classic F1 machines, and the cars
included in this issue re-reminds you that F1 Modeling is a true magazine
for the car modelers. It also includes two Williams driven by
Jacques Villeneuve, F2003-GA in all 16 races, and the close up photos of
the cars between round 14 to round 16. The models are Tameo's
F2003-GA by Hideaki Suzuki and SilverLine's R23 by Akihiro Kamimura.
This issue also includes an interesting article about a private CFD
analysis of the fW24 for Grand Prix Speed - F magazine. Since I worked for
CAE software importer in Japan, the article is not too complicated to
understand, but I don't
have a stamina to translate it. Sorry. Close up photos included in this issue are as follows.

| F1 Modeling vol. 18 is thoroughly dedicated to
the details of the 2003 cars. Almost 2/3 are spent for detail photos
in the familiar manner, and many of them show the early version and late
version. The rest includes the
F2003-GA press presentation version, the ill-fated MP4/18 and the winning
machines from each race. The model page includes a review of the Model Factory Hiro's Ferrrari 156 Shark Nose and the part 2 of Mr. Kamimura's beautiful
Lotus 49. Besides the cover, insert and random pages, the list of close up photos is as following.
The next issue of F1 Modeling is due Dec 2003, and the editor in chief stated that it wouldn't be delayed. :) |
 Many many many photos...

| Review (August 2003) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This issue of F1 Modeling is focusing on the
Ferrari 639, a test car, which never raced. It was built to race the
1989 season, but political friction inside Ferrari caused delay in
development, and the registration No. F189 was handed over to the
640. Amazing 110 close-up photos show every bits and pieces of
details. It'd be a very interesting conversion project for the
Tamiya's F189 early version kit.
The second feature article is about early days of Eddie Irvine, and 25 photos show the exterior of the Jordan 193, 194 and 195. This magazine is called F1 Modeling, so it has to have something about F1 modeling, right? Well, this issue has a few photos of Tamiya's impressive FW24 kit, but unfortunately, no comment of the kit developer. Also, Mr. Kamimura begins the assembly of a Meri Kit Lotus 49. This's going to be 1967 Dutch GP conversion. Close up photos of the early 2003 season are as following.
The next issue of F1 Modeling is due July 2003, but it hasn't been released at the time of writing. (Aug. 4, 2003) |

| Another great volume of F1 Modeling has been
released. It starts with the historic F1 race in Monaco, followed by
some detail photos of classic F1 cars. This issue also contains
usual close up photos of all cars, that clearly shows the wings and minor
changes for each race.
Close up photos of some the classic F1 cars are as following.
A feature called Classic File, which is similar to its own Retro F1, is featuring the Ferrari 312T, and there are 65 close up photos of a stripped down 312T (012). There are some useful photos of the major teams from Monaco GP, but the highlight of this issue is its usual feature, that is tons of detail photos listed below.
The Modeling Factory page shows some tips to modify BBR's 1/43 Ferrari F2001 to 2002 spec. This issue also contains a visit to Cartgraf. This is another issue with a great value, and the editorial note says that there are many inquiries from overseas, and many of them are active F1 technical crews and SAE members. The next issue of F1 Modeling is due September 27, 2002 |

| Review (May 2002) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This volume is the first of the
2002 season, and it has the cars from the presentation and Rd.1.
There are many useful photos to model the 2002 cars later this
year. The detail photos in this volume are as following.
The part 2 of Lotus Memorial covers the Lotus 72 Chassis No.5. It also has 26 close up photos in four pages. However, this issue of F1 Modeling is essentially the supplement of the F1-2000 special. The last half of the magazine is dedicated to tons of close up photos of the F1-2000, which is under restoration. Even if you have put together one already, you'll be tempted to super detail another F1-2000 if you see these pictures, and it is a must have for any F1 model fans. (158 photos in 30 pages!) So, this is the surprise they mentioned in the previous issue, and sure it is a big surprise. Way to go, Sankaido. The next issue of F1 Modeling is due June, 28, 2002. |

| This volume of F1 Modeling features the cars
Alesi and Hakkinen drove, as well as some close up photos of the 2001 F1
cars. The retro F1 of the issue is Brabham BT52/52B.
The detail photos in the Alesi article are as following.
The article on Hakkinen starts with the drawings of the MP4/13 and 14 by Mr. Piola, and it also has some pictures of the MP4/8 and MP4-12. Modeling section includes the interview to a Tamiya staff about the F2001 kit. Mr. Kamimura shows another fine example of 1/43 model, and this time it's the Ligier JS7. Also, four page article on Amalgam Models is very interesting. The Retro F1 in this issue is the Brabham BT52/52B, and there are 30 photos. Finally, there are some close up pictures of the 2001 cars. One page is assigned to Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Sauber, Jordan, BAR, Benetton, Jaguar, and Prost, and each has seven pictures. Arrows and Minardi gets only four pictures each. Special gift to the readers of my web page is a translation of the interview on the development of the F2001 kit. Go to the translation page Next issue of F1 Modeling is due March 29, 2002, and they are preparing for a surprise. However, it's difficult and might not happen, they say. |

Another compilation of previously
published materials is released from Sankaido. It's Schumacher
special, and it features all F1 cars he's driven until he achieved the 53
wins this year. The cars included in this volume of F1 Modeling are
as following.
It also includes the list and accompanying photo of the cars he's won so far, starting from Rd.12 Belgium 1992 to Rd.17 Japan 2001. Also, a very few pictures of the Sauber Mercedes prototype cars(C11 and C291), Raynard 903 and Ferrari 412T2 are shown. Thirty four photos of his helmet as well as many illustrations by Giorgio Piora have great values, too. This is a wonderful reference of F1 cars driven by Schumacher, whether you like him or not. Why they didn't come up with the similar idea like...Senna special? Next issue of F1 Modeling is due Dec. 14, featuring BT52/52B. |

| Perfect File is basically a reissue of volume 8, but it has extra nine pages of drawings by Giorgio Piora. His works are published in various publications around the world, so you know what to expect. It's a great reference to know the differences between the races, and those who have missed the vol.8 shouldn't hesitate to buy it. A must for those who want to detail Tamiya's F1-2000 kit. |

| Review (April 2001) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Since F1 Modeling is a Japanese
publication, it's logical for them to pick Toyota's F1 test car AM-01for the cover of this
issue. However, only four pages are spent and there aren't much
information on the car. The main part of this issue is a
quick review of the 2001 cars, and photos are from Australia and Malaysia.
Photos included are...
Since Sauber and Prost are using the Ferrari 049 engine, if someone makes a resin kit, the parts from Tamiya's F1-2000 kit can be used, can't it? There are pages for a comparison of the front wings, tire grooves, exhaust etc of various 2001 cars. The second feature is about Mugen, the company run by Hirotoshi Honda, a son of Soichiro. The article includes a few pictures of the Mugen engines, as well as come close up pictures of the Footwork FA13, Ligier JS43 and Jordan EJ10. A model kit featured in this volume is Bisica's Ferrari 126C2 by Akihiro Kamimura. It shows 12 photos of the the model, and the kit took 320 hours to build. Mr. Kamimura has his own home page. Some texts are translated to English, if you are interested, check here: http://www.linkclub.or.jp/~ak-model/ Finally, the next issue is due June 21st. |

| Review (Dec. 14, 2000) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As announced in the previous
issue, the vol.8 of F1 Modeling fully features the Ferrari F1-2000.
The issue is nothing but Ferrari, and it's a great reference, which equals
to or even surpass the famous F1 Modeling Manual series. It contains more
than two hundred(!) pictures of the F1-2000 from various races, as well as
pictures of the demo car. Among those, here are the detail photos
included in this magazine.
Plus many more close up through out the magazine A review of the Tamiya kit shows the level of engineering Tamiya employed in the kit, particularly the heat resistant foils for the rear suspension arms. A review of the Tameo's 1/43 kit is also covered in this issue. In the retro F1 section, the there are a few detail photos of the 312 T4 at the end of the issue. Finally, the next issue is due March. |

Another informative issue of F1
Modeling has been released. This volume is featuring the year 2000
machines, and the contents are as valuable as other issues. The
photograph page starts from the bird's eye view of 11 machines, and then a
few detail pictures of the highlight of the 2000 machines. (nah, too
much work to translate all of them.) Then, detail photos of the
following machines are included.
A table of the specifications of each car is included, and it's written in English. A study of major cars is included, and it accompanies some detail photos. The magazine also features some cars from the past, and the Brabham BT46 is chosen to coincide with the reissue of the Tamiya kit.

F1 Modeling is a series of
magazines dedicated to Formula 1
machines and models. The Vol. 3 was released to coincide with the
release of Tamiya's MP4/13 kit, and this book is a very good
reference. Although it's not as detailed as the Formula Perfect
Manual series, this sixty four page book contains many detailed pictures to
help detailing the Tamiya kit. Most of the text about the real car
has been published in many magazines, so it's nothing new, but the
interview with the Tamiya crews are very interesting. Here're some
highlights.
This book also includes the cad drawing of the kit, and I think it's helpful for those 3D computer graphics modelers. |
