Happy New Year to you all! A new year brings new projects and this is one i am enjoying immensely! Tamiya's 1/20 Tyrrell 1977 P34 This is my first Tamiya f1 experience, as well as tanks and football i have always loved Formula 1. Although i am not old enough to remember the 'golden era's' as I mainly grew up with Schumi and his winning ways its something I always had a passion for. Now its my turn to delve into this great range of model kits and share it with you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

sweet, be sure to upload it into the gallery when she's done? I will definitely bear that in mind when I come to do the decals myself cheers Pete. as for the cracking I would only say make sure everything is extra wet and slippery apart from that I'm not much much help.. |

This stuff can help with cracking decals. Paint it on over the sheet, it strengthens the whole thing. You have to use a bit more care when cutting them out but it helps a lot. Link Edited by Cimmerian, Jan 6 2014, 04:04 PM.

Thats coming along great! I always thought the 70s and 80s F1 cars had much more "personality" :) |

Great start to a great kit of one of the most iconic F1 cars ever built. Just out of curiosity is there a reason for painting the main bodywork silver prior to applying the blue? Cheers, Warren |
