Stunningly beautiful build Aymer. The paint is gorgeous but even more impressive are all the colors and textures yo have applied to the various "metal" components. The exhaust system is particularly impressive. What did you use for the front brake cooling ducts? Looks spot on.

Well done! That era is my favorite, I've built the 6 wheeler 3 times!

Another really nice 1/20 model from your collection Aymer.   Paint and detailing are excellent.

Thank you Pierre. I wrapped a thin wire (0.2-0.3 mm) like a spring around the rod of appropriate thickness. Then I wrapped it with Teflon tape (PTFE tape) used in the installation. After giving it the appropriate shape, I painted it black. Teflon tape works great for detailing.

Really nice job on this iconic car. I got to see the two blue & white ‘77 versions of this car race at Long Beach (47 yrs ago! Eh gads I’m getting old!) and they were very competitive, sadly the six-wheelers were discontinued in later years due to unavailability of the small front tires.

You did a great job with those scratch-built brake cooling ducts, not easy to do. I tried that method on a build I posted a few years back of a ‘65 Mustang SOHC A/FX for the air inlet lines and it was a struggle, what kind of wire did you use? Copper? Brass? Solder?

Bu ikonik arabada gerçekten iyi iş çıkardınız. Long Beach'te bu araba yarışının iki mavi-beyaz '77 versiyonunu görme şansım oldu (47 yıl önce! Ah, ne yazık ki yaşlanıyorum!) ve çok rekabetçiydiler, ne yazık ki altı tekerlekli araçlar sonraki yıllarda üretimden kaldırıldı. küçük ön lastiklerin bulunmaması.

Çizilmiş fren soğutma kanallarıyla harika bir iş çıkardınız, kolay değil. Bu yöntemi, birkaç yıl önce hava giriş hatları için '65 Mustang SOHC A/FX'in yayınladığım bir yapı üzerinde denedim ve çok zorlandım, ne tür bir kablo kullandınız? Bakır? Pirinç? Lehim?

You are very lucky to see this vehicle. I also had the chance to watch the 1973 model Tyrrell racing at a show in my country. I used 0.3mm Aluminum wire for the brake hoses.
