maysula Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 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. Thomas 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Beautiful build, I like the realistic metal paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajohn97 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) 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?

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
