Monty Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 One of my all-time favorite race cars. When they first came out, I was astounded by the design and the audacity (6 wheels!) While this will always be my favorite livery, I can't wait to see how yours turns out. Looks like you've got a great start already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagercr Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I always thought this was a cool car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notoriousek Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looking really good. I'll be watching this one as I also have this kit. Side note is there any differences between the car on the box and the other car that was posted with different livery? Besides the obvious different sponsors... Tamiya kit only included one decal set? I guess I could just open my kit and check haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebi Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) This is one seriously badass machine, cant wait to see the finished model! OffT: If I'm not mistaken, the P34's first race was at Scandianvian Raceway here in Sweden, which is only 5 km from my hometown.. proud as hell Edited February 17, 2015 by Bumblebi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks everyone. Hi Derek, I build the same car, what is in the photo. In the kits has only one decals, the car will be blue and white (1977 Monaco GP). ...but, in the kits have parts from a car in 1976, but need decals for the blue cars.

beeRS Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I always thought the P34 was an icon of Formula 1. Great to see you making such a good job of that DFV engine. The Tamiya 1/20 scale engine is a little simplified - but you have really brought it to life with the extra detailing. I great start. Will love to see this one finished.
