A closer look than the previous pictures of the more or less finished front end. ( the camera really highlights the imperfections....must clean up that paint a little Mellow

)

Looks great to me Malc. I know what you mean about the cooling systems on these cars on the Tamiya 1/12 Honda Ra273 kit I have in the stash the cooling system is six pipes running front to back underneath the car. The driver must have been praying not to bottom the car and rip off the cooling system Blink

Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Help needed !

I've reached the stage where I'm planning to fit the screen to the body panel. It comes as a vacuum formed piece that needs to be cut out along lines which are formed in the moulding.
I guess a sharp scalpel and lots of care but does anyone have any advice or tricks that can make this process a little easier?
Thanks in advance.
Malc.

Just had to see how it looks with the nosecone in place. BigGrin

Not much cleaning up needed to get these parts fitting.

It all came together quite nicely. I've added some cabling for a bit of extra detail.

No HANS device or Halo in those days ! BigGrin

Some great detail on these diecast parts.
Even the pistons look properly timed. Pity it all gets hidden.
