Thanks James. Maybe I can help designing the PE suspension and another part or two. Tameo's BT53 is an old kit without PE so it would be good to have custom designed parts: - Wings (resin main elements, PE endplates and minor elements, quite elaborate on the BT53) - Steering wheel centre (if it make...

Dear James,
Would you perhaps consider selling BT53 bodies and decals?
Thanks for the reply.

Interestingly, Depailler's 1976 Japanese GP car had a longer wheelbase than Scheckter's. I'm not sure if that's the only race with this difference.

Here we are, with this slow but thorough build. The front suspension has been scratchbuilt with the help of Tameo wishbones and brake discs. I finally glued together the powertrain and the chassis. I also prepared the wheels (with tyres sanded to correct dimensions) and scratchbuilt the rear wing. T...

The current cars look unfinished, these horrible barge board area that looks like scaffolding, broken nose, way too wide front wings and way too long wheelbase. Some of these issues will hopefully be addressed with the new cars and that’s a step in the right direction. When the current cars were int...

Returning to this project, I worked on the rear end. I used This Way Up DFV engine, brakes and gearbox, Tameo cam covers, PE radiator plates and (modified) shock absorbers. Hex fittings and hoses are by Top Studio. Everything else is scratchbuilt and it looks much better live than on the photos. I s...

After completing the magnificent Tameo WCT 1970 Lotus 72C, it's time to get back to the much less detailed SRC 1972 car. Here I must resort to a lot of scratchbuilding and adjustments. Anyway, decaling is in progress, with the golden stripes being cut and assembled from many pieces to fit the shape ...
