Yes TS-43, British Racing Green....I was going to try and decant it and spray through my airbrush edit: nope, I am wrong, it is TS-9 BRG

Believe it or not, they were in with the kit. Really nice preformed screens The trumpets are just the chromed kit ones as well. I can still see the sprue ends on there, embarrassing All that stuff is just posed for the photo, nothing on permanent yet so I can sort out the cowling fit and bodywork. Thanks for looking

Up to date as she lays now. Looking to do more wiring and plumbing

Engine block assembled, painted and wired up Then starting on gearbox and drivetrain

First formula one build I have done in 35 years...cripes I am old. I built these cars as a teenager and have amassed quite a collection of the classic Tamiya F1 lineup. So this one is the first I will build it ála Mario Andretti and do some detailing. So far rear clip is painted, finally, and assembled. Now doing some detail up work with PE and homespun stuff Lots of paint call outs for the parts with multiple colours. Is a lot more work than I remember!

LOVE the paint scheme man, very sharp Great work

Merci mon ami

Yep, one of those side window supports was broken out of the box, so I cut them both off...figure easier to add directly to the windshield. the top support is warped as well so will be fun The spark leads are separated by a little photo etch band. I think it is actually a little hose clamp. Working on a Lotus Martini Type 79 at the moment while this one is on hold. First formula 1 kit build since I was 15, a couple years ago...like 35!!!! I will start a wip thread when I get some progress

Ya, that was a beautiful black one, right...and then the buggers blew it up!!! Loved that show, thank god I did not emulate their dressing style

Hi bud, great to hear from you She is parked in a VIP spot for a bit until I get the two part clear I planned from the beginning to use on her..it is what she deserves

Well, I have been dragging my behind waiting on a two part clear to arrive from Gravity Colors...second shipment attempt since November 2017. Really killing my mojo for car building Anyhow, I pushed on and finished small bits that’s I could....exhaust with chrome tips, taillights, sidelights, windscreen Future treated. So now I wait, and wait , and wait.... Oh, and I scratched the gd fender waiting...have to repaint it .....and I wait....

Hi Mr Jordan, hope you are doing well

Lovely in yellow, really nice job ? I have the Daytona Spyder in the ‘on the bench’ section right now..just battling the paint

God Frank, what DIDN'T they break on it?! Just plug away bit by bit and you will get her back together

Picking up tips to build my little yellow girl who just arrived

Nice looking MG indeed and I agree was a great little kit Harry actually helped me out on my MG as I was pondering what to do with the dash. He was noted for the quote "nothing looks quite like real wood other than wood"...so I made an entire wood dash, then added leather seats to top it off Here are both threads, sadly with the loss of photos in Harry's

Thanks Frank I have Harry's 1/16 Jaguar ss100 fixed up and my own MGTC 1/16....you have given me an assignment for a photo shoot!

Ahh, she doesn't want to ship it to Canada...no wonder, it would be a fortune

Can you do a link...I don't find it on her eBay shop that I have saved

I promised Dann on another thread to show one of Harry's builds I have. This is a Sopwith Camel in 1/32 scale made by Harry's hands...missing a couple bits I wanted to keep this all Harry's work so only returned what was missing and tried my best to match the paint shades. Fortunately I had a Wing Nut Wings kit with the exact parts as extras on the sprue tree...real surprise. I will re-do the broken rigging when I get the correct lines As she stands now up on her wheels

Awesome, what did you get for it?? I just sold a wooden r/c boat kit on Craig's list for $300...and then bought four kits to fill the void

Awesome cockpit..looks like the real deal!!!

Thanks Dann, really nice of you to say Oh yeah, I am all good just been building other stuff...helicopter, jets, space shuttles and our house. Honestly, after Harry passed away, MCM has been a bit harder for me to come back to. Losing a mentor like him just sucks and I needed some time, do some other stuff....but now I am back and doing more car stuff so it is all good. I have bought three of his models from Amy, his daughter, and restored two...will show them at some point

Thanks Jay, Cheers bud

One of my favourite builds
