Just crossed the finish line. MFH 1/12 Tyrrell 006. Modified to the German GP version. I wanted this version because I attended the race while stationed in Germany

Thanks Ian Thanks Art. Unfortunately other builds have jumped in front of it in the building queue -

I bought it straight from MFH. When they announced the kit, I immediately put in my pre-order. -

I don't know if there was a Cobra cast into the bellhousing. But it doesn't matter because it will be buried under bodywork and no one will see it. After I decaled the gauges, I tried the glue I used on the rear window to make the lenses. The time difference between the first and third pictures is only about an hour. Then the dash was assembled. -

I got the rear hatch sorted. I used a product called Liquid Glass that I got from Art Laski to glue the hatch and glass together. -

They probably were black. But I wanted some contrast since almost the whole chassis is black. -

Thanks for the encouragement guys.I got some time to paint the interior body panels. Then I mocked them up. It still looks like everything will go together without problems.I also got the wheels and tires finished. Why is it I have an over-riding desire to finish them at the start of a build?Carbs are almost done. Each one shown here has 21 parts to it.A start on the side pipes.I saved this till last. I have found that the amount of light and the temperature of it has a lot to do with the appearance of color. A lot of people obsess about matching the color of their model using reference pictures without taking into account the lighting in said picture. The next two pictures are of the EXACT same spoon. The first was taken outdoors on a sunny day, but on the shady side of my house. The second was taken indoors but only using the light coming in from outside. The spoon was first painted with Tamiya grey primer, then sprayed with TS-19 Metallic Blue. This will be my choice for the body color. -

Thanks guys. After a couple of weeks of drilling holes and fitting parts, I'm finally able to show some progress. -

Thanks for checking in guys. Hopefully I'll be able to do this kit justice. I spent some time getting the main pieces aligned and the holes drilled for the screws that hold them together. -
Got this on Tuesday. So here are the unboxing photos. I've taken inventory of the parts and started checking the fit. So far it looks very good.
