Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
So I bolted the engine to the back of the tub and it was a bit more difficult than was necessary. A piece of advice to those who are building this kit. First don’t add the right side aluminum cover till after you bolt the engine and in fact you may have to modify it to make it fit. Second and most i...

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
Thanks senninha. Yes it was tough with all those miniature pieces to deal with so I had to be very patient so I’m glad Im finished with that bit though I still have to add more bits like the headers and more wiring.

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
Ok so it’s been a while but I’ve been a bit busy and the finalizing the engine has taken a bit of time. I finished most of the wiring but the engine loom on the head covers are done. I had to wait on some parts to arrive and took a bit longer thanks to Covid. I finished the back end of the engine an...

Re: Finally FW14B detail set

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
Nice work. The TS set looks very good. I also have a complete set, but I don't have the confidence to start the McLaren yet. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I will include them in mine and hope to be ready to start it soon. If you have any questions just let me know and I’ll try to help but ...

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
I’ve been waiting for some hardware to come through the mail so things have been slow but I did manage to finish the front bit of the engine. I added additional detail to the front engine from pics of the Formula Perfect manual. I’m currently working on the TPS sensors for the rear of the engine and...

Re: VETTEL FOR ASTON! confirmed, Perez out
Sergio Pérez got back stabbed after helping his teammates secure their jobs last year. Hope he lands at RedBull

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
So much for my break. I decided to continue with the engine and concentrated on the throttle linkage on the engine. The linkage really adds to the detail of the engine. This little engine is getting heavier and heavier lol. I put the engine aside and decided to focus on the trumpets and tray. I pain...
