WIP Tamiya Honda RA 273 1/12

[capri-schorsch]

Hello,

after i finished my last project i began with some new stuff.



I drill holes in the body because i will put real rivets in it.




First i wanted to make only every second rivet,but now i take putty and closed all between them.




You can see a part from the stuff that i want to use.

This is the first part.In real im a little bit faster than this pictures here.But i show you all till the last stage.

Greetings!

Second Part:


You can see that im testing different sizes of revets.
The bigger ones are 1mm and the smaller are 0,75mm rivets.
I decieded to use the 1mm rivets.The honda has bigger ones than the Ferrari i build at last.

Part three:

What a work with this little rivets!






Now they are all primed and ready to color with TS-7.

Part four:

All the bodywork is now painted with Tamiya TS-7.




Tommorow i will paint it with Top-Coat and after that i apply the decals.


Thats enough for now.I must do a lot of work with the little parts inside.

Greetings!

For me that was a couple of months of sheer pain! This seems like a very promising project, I'll keep drooling at it. Which race are you portraying? I can send my reference photos if you want.

File sent via YouSendIt. I mostly have pics of the car in its '66 look. I don't know about 1967, but in '66 Watkins Glen and Mexico the car had a much wider track. So, if you want to make a really correctly proportioned '66 car using the parts in this kit, you should go for the narrower track Monza #18 car.

Thanks for your great pics.

I think i will make the number 18 museum car.There a lot of pics from this car and i want to make a clean car without dirt ans stuff.My other cars are all with dirty engine,and now i want to make a clean car.

Anyway,thanks a lot for your pics!

Hello. I'm also tackling this one at the moment. It was started last march so almost a year in now !! There's no major problems in the kit so far just in stopping myself trying to scratch build almost everything as i keep comparing the kit parts to the photos. I've put some wip pics here:

I've done some more work since so there's some more pics to come soon.
Good luck with this one.
