Hi folks,
Does anyone know of a build report showing the process of creating a high down-force rear wing out of the low down force rear wing that comes with the Tamiya 1/12 MP4-6?
I want to model the car for the United States, Monaco or Brazilian race but the kit comes with a low down force wing like Italian,German, Belgium or GB GP races.
Side pod radiator opening on the Tamiya kit matches the US, Monaco, Brazilian GP setup.
Does anyone know what race the Tamiya MP4-6 is modeled after?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

I believe the kit is based on the specification as run during the German Grand Prix

Convince those that know how to 3D print them.

The front wing was different for the early races, I believe the wing was attached to the front cowl but they changed to the separate wing/cowl arrangement later. I think the Tamiya kit is based on the German GP spec too. The other cosmetic difference is the windscreen piece. It was body colour at the start of the season.

Thanks Malc
That was the only one that i was aware of. I look at this one all the time.
I was hoping there were more
it looks like the bottom angle of the end panels are reversed, it may be just me
