Tyrrell P34, Tamiya 1/12

[MarcoSaupe]

Hi

I thought I might post my current WIP here, too. The knowledgeable members of this place might have some useful tips

I have the old version of the kit without etch parts, but I got some replacement decals from indycals (white instead of the grey originals ). I started with the main parts of the engine and the front. I did some detailing with different cables there. Next will be front suspension and finishing the engine.

that looks great, I like the detail your adding too. The finish on the tub looks nice too, what silver did you use?

I airbrushed Revell Aqua Color Aluminium, thinned with water.

Looks great Marco - look forward to seeing more!

Finished the front suspension today, twice as difficult as normal suspensions
I like the springs Tamiya used for the brake ventilation.

Not "big" progress this weekend, but lots of small progress. Except for the standard Cosworth engine cabling (fuel + ignition) I added many wires to the cockpit, as it will be clearly visible in the finished model due to the removable front cowling.

Looks great

Engine and gearbox put together, and some wiring:



That's how everything looks so far:



Not much progress this week, because before i start painting the bodywork, i wanted to practise a bit more with the airbrush (still new to it). So I built a Revell Montoya Williams as one-weekend project, just to practise airbrushing - not perfect, so not a whole thread, but only a small pic
