Tyrrell 006 Monaco 1973
Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2024 1:33 am
Greetings! I’ve finally finished my second MFH kit. I wanted to have it done by the 50th anniversary of Jackie Stewart’s win at Monaco. The model was mostly done in time, but I always need help reducing the file size for this forum. With help from daughter and grandson, here it is! The kit went together very well, much easier than the P4. I added a few details, rivets and wiring mostly, and a second set of belts to be seen with the seat removed. Hope you like it. A bit of personal history…I almost got to see the real thing. We went to Watkins Glen for the GP, arriving early Sunday morning, went straight to the Kendall paddock, and found the Team Tyrell bay saw nothing but a wooden crate with some spare panels in it. It turns out, of course, the team had withdrawn in the wake of Cevert’s tragic accident. The car has always been a favorite of mine, I was thrilled that Hiro chose to produce the kit in 1/12th.
! So precious
