Tamiya 1/12 Tyrrell 003 Cevert Monaco GP -71

Hi

I did a coversion of Tamiyas Stewart Monaco GP car, there is only decals for Stewart in the kit.

I used mainly decals from Schunko, tire decals is from Indycals.

The main difference on Ceverts car is the rearview mirror support, extended glass part on the cowling. Also the coolingpipe in the lower side of the body is routed in another way at the engine.

Added bolts ,screws and electrical stuff around the engine and on the dash. also added some parts around the engine that was not provided, my english is not so good so I can,t explain what it,s called in technical terms.

I hope you understand and see for your self ? . The front cooler has got new mounting support for the pipes.

Excellent looking model! And great pictures too. We don't usually see a model of a Francois Cevert car so this is a very nice tribute.

Beautiful F1 car.  Very well done.

Amazing work!  And excellent photography as well, thanks for sharing.

To your usual very, very... very high standards Thomas. I've rarely seen builds that can compare to your's. What else can be said?

[slusher]

Outstanding!

Beautiful build, I like the realistic metal paint.

Wow! Fantastic job Thomas on this hammerhead Tyrrell. The additional fasteners, wiring, springs, switches that you added really brings this build up to an MFH kit level. What paint/ technique did you use on the Cosworth block to make it look so realistic as a casting?

Thanks all ? And thanks John, glad you liked it ! The block is airbrushed  with a classic color, Alu 56 Humbrol enamel, gives a nice matt finish I think. The gearbox is also painted with Humbrol metalcote , a mix with 003 and 004.

The rest is mostly done with acrylics, some parts is painted with Alclad colors, body with Tamiya spraycan TS-15, floorpolish on top.

Very nice looking model with great details -  a fine tribute to "Prince Charming" Francois Cevert.
