Well that is one good thing about summer coming to an end, many of us find our way back to the modeling desk. Very convincing looking work you have.

Re: WIP Tamiya Honda RA 273
Evening all. Its been a busy few months. Ive been doing a spot of turning, ive turned the rear suspension parts, first part of the drive shaft / universal joint the bit that comes out of the gear box, the rest ill use stock parts, and the water tank cap as the kit doesn't supply one?! I re-made the middle of the steering wheel from 0.5mm alu as I didn't like the way it would look using the photo-etched part glued onto the plastic middle, to thick. I've also been making the brake lines using 0.5mm dia wire and some stretched black heat shrink tube. Its almost been a year now so maybe finished this year ??!!

Re: WIP Tamiya Honda RA 273
I see you also corrected the water tank shape, the Tamiya version is a square box. Very good detail.
The "Kit" style of model making have become popular, bringing models within the reach of the unskilled and ill-equipped. -Pratley, Scale Model Cars (1956)
