Re: P34 - 6 Wheeler
Well I only just checked my mailbox and the braided line was there waiting for me!
Added braided line for radiators, oil cooler thingo and the oil tank. A\N fittings were painted in the traditional clear blue & red combo.. just need to fit the engine to the body before connecting up the ends.

Re: P34 - 6 Wheeler
DFV is now finished - not bad for a first effort I think, always room for improvement =) The rear oil radiator will be attached with the rear wing supports & the rads will fit into the chassis when it's ready.
Now onto the body - I'll be using Indycals replacement decals and build the 1976 version from the 1977 Monaco kit as both pieces are included.
Edit:
Couldn't resist a quick mock up with the body + a shot of the remaining blue parts in primer: (love those wide rear wheels)

Re: P34 - 6 Wheeler
Worked on the wheels this arvo... I loaded them onto my drill with bamboo skewers and gave them a good sand. The logos were picked out with white acrylic using a tooth pick and then weathered with the Tamiya weathering kit. Rims were left unpainted.
You can see the difference between the un-sanded and sanded small tyres from left to right.

great job, looks awesome!
Re: P34 - 6 Wheeler
First I see this sharp big pic on my screen on this nicely detailed 1:12 DFV, then I look at a couple more, and then the wheels... Only after another moment or two do I finally catch up to the fact this is 1:20!
Ha.
Nice work!
