New Tyrrell kits?

[aurfalien]

Hi,

I just noticed the Fujimi 1/20 Tyrrell P34;

I wonder how it compares to the Tamiya 1/20 P34?

Also there is Ebrro Tyrrell;

I know Tamiyas 1/12 003 is very cool.

Curious if any one has seen these models?

I've got the Ebbro one on preorder. I have a couple of their previous Lotus kits, they do good stuff

[aurfalien]

Nice! Whom did you pre-order from?

And did they give an ETA?

I can't speak to the quality (as 1/20 F1 cars are not my thing), but the Fujimi kit is a straight reissue of a kit they did at some point over a decade or more ago.

Ebbro came out with two different versions of the Tyrrell 003.....one is the same nose that is on the 1/12 Tamiya kit and the other is the flat 'shovel' nose.

I have the kit above and I like it. The tires in the kit are especially nice. The rest of the kit is Tamiya-like in quality. You should buy one....you won't be disappointed

Agree that the Ebbro kits are very nice. I have all the Lotus kits and have the 003.

Just as an FYI, the EBBRO Tyrell 002 kit came out today for those were waiting.

Wow, looking at the assembly dirs, looks like a very nice kit.

I have the 1/12 003. Had a lot of chrome to try and replicate aluminum. The ebbro kits are nice I have the jps lotus. They have tamiya paint codes in instructions. The decals don't like microsol, left what looks like water spots on them.
