1/20 scale Studio 27 kit has been finished
It wasn't the easiest build. I had some problems, many of them by my own fault.
The story is here:

I'm not a friend of multi media kits as I don't like to work in those materials. If I should build one it has to be something I really want.
The Tyrrell 008 was one such object. A very nice looking car. It will fit in quite good with my Lotus 79's

It is almost built out of the box but not as Studio 27 intended. It could be built as a Monaco or a Austrian GP car but I mixed the parts to come up with this.
I bought new tyres from MFH and added the front rims from a MFH Lotus 79. New seatbelts and scratch built front wing end plates and side skirts was added.
I am rather pleased with the end result even though I didn't get it 100 % right.

Like it. If you hadn't pointed out the slight inaccuracy in your WIP I doubt most of us would have noticed. Nice work. I've never seen Badmonth logo like it is on the rear wing, very unusual.
