Tyrrell P34 (1977 Monaco version, Tamiya, 1:20)

Post by GGSF1 »

Hello,

Here's my build of the 1:20 Tamiya Tyrrell P34, 1977 Monaco version. It's my third build overall, and while there are things to improve, I'd say it's the best of all three.

I had no major difficulties when building it. The problems I had were mostly my fault, like the exhausts not fitting properly because I glued them not having done a test fit before or when I had issues attaching the front suspension to the main body, basically because I painted the parts where glue had to go.

It's mostly out of the box, painted with a mix of Tamiya acrylics and spray cans. The following extras were added:
  • Indycals decals for the front tyres, as logos are molded just in one side, but the real car had them in both sides.
  • Air funnel meshes from MFH.
  • Front wing support struts made using Evergreen polystyrene strips.
  • Helmet visor made using leftovers of the clear plastic included with the kit.
I mentioned this in the WIP thread, but again, thanks to Kitbash1 from this forum, who provided a replacement for a part of the kit I lost.
