1:43 DFV / Hewland Gearbox Detail Parts & Seatbelts

Post by dr_gn »

All,

I'm going to be building an ancient Western Kits Tyrrell P34 Prototype (1:43):

https://www.f1m.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=31223

I want to improve it - slightly, but keep the basic character of the kit. With this in mind I'm looking to improve the visible bits of the engine, particularly the cam covers, inlet trumpets, and the clutter in the rear part of the "V". Also, some bits and pieces to detail the graboox might not go amiss, but that's much easier to do.

I'm also looking to replace the oil radiators on the wing post, and add fine mesh to the water radiator ducts in the sidepods - is very fine mesh available anywhere?

Finally, the drivers harness. I assume it will be a standard Willans type?

Are there any p/e or white metal sets that include any or all of these bits and pieces?

Thanks!

Might have to wait a little for this to be in production-

Thanks both.

Looking at the Hiro images, I might have a go at making my own DFV covers when I get my resin printer
