Toleman TG185 completed 1/43 scale model by Taka FUKAMI

Toleman TG185

Built from a Tameo Kits 1/43 scale kit, this Toleman TG185 represents one of the most distinctive Formula One cars of the 1985 season. Throughout the project, I focused on achieving clean surfaces, precise paintwork, and a balanced overall appearance. Rather than relying on excessive detailing, my goal was to capture the unique proportions, atmosphere, and presence of the original car in scale form. The TG185 is a machine with a strong character, and I aimed to express that character through careful finishing and attention to detail. This project reflects my continuing pursuit of realism, balance, and authenticity in 1/43 scale model building.
