BAR Honda 2002

Inspired by Jenson Button's first victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix 2006, I finally got around to do the two BAR Honda racers from 2002 which had been waiting for me in almost two years. Back in 2004 I bought a SCX Formel-1 set - a small oval track with two McLaren F1 racers for less than £50 and a set of decals for the BAR Honda 2002 which was made by a guy who calls himself Iceman at the Slotforum.com. The decals are for no. 11 and no. 12 which was driven by Jacques Villeneuve and Oliver Panis.
