Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2022
Does anyone know if TS will make a super detail kit for the 1/12 scale Tamiya Ferrari 641 like they did for the McLaren MP4/6 or Williams FW14?

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
More progress on this build. I glued the gearbox assembly to the back of the engine with no issues. I may do the same process with my next build. Unorthodox for this model because Tamiya decided to have the engine gearbox in one piece. I decided to split them into for easier assembly and detailing. ...

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
I cheated on the airbox by shopping it at the top to get it lower then the roll bar. I then sanded it back to shape and spoiled CF. All I need was like .5mm Unfortunately my iPhone is all I have and this forum will only allow me to submit medium size pictures but yeah it doesn’t due my work justice....

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
This past week I assembled the radiators with of course the Top Studio upgrades which made a big difference to the stock Tamiya bits. Certainly more realistic with more plumbing so it was worth the upgrade if you intend in building this model. The only difficulty I encountered that the TS instructio...

Re: McLaren MP4/4 "My Biggest Project" 1:8
Your model is looking great. Hope my 1/8 scale Ferrari will look that nice when I start building it.

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
No it doesn’t touch the ECU and you can see a gap and the airbox sits nicely on its tray. Maybe I can file down the base of the airbox to lower it but don’t think it will make much difference.

Re: Tamiya 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 w/ upgrades
I come across a problem which the community here especially the ones who have build this kit before can help me out with suggestions remedies etc. So I put the airbox to the engine but as you can see it sits above the rollbar which is not suppose to. It does sit firmly on the airbox tray. Maybe this...
