1/12 Formula One Tyrrel 003 - Final Reveal

Post by rodrant »

So boys and girls , ladies and gentleman , here are my final thoughts of this Tamiya Kit :-)

My build thread here :

http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=531&t=19463

About this kit ...this seems a rebox for a Tamiya old sprues from 1978 ...not an easy kit , but with time and not getting nervous you get a nice final result as in more or less all Tamiya builds . If you ask me if this worth the money , at the beggining and checking the marks on the sprue from the casting moulds , I say no ...after I build it and looking at the result I say go for it!!!
Well I advice to clean all the chrome sprues , and clean is to remove this awful chrome that it is real bad to glue and to work with ! So clean the chrome , clean the pieces with some sanding work ( the pieces aren't that much clean in excess of plastic) use alcalad or other metalic paint and do this with time , the kit i wonderful in the detail and final result , I saw even guys that replaced the cables for colour ones and there are some fantastic results in the internet , check for them ! For me isn't the best kit I have done , but really is now one of the Top Shelf models i my living room :-) .It is just great , even as I mention has some building mistakes,. Carefull handling the model , as it all seems fragile , a lot and lot of pieces that can easily break ...

Final photos , hope you like as I liked and battle to build it in the last weeks :lol:

Awesome build. Love these big Tamiya F1 kits. Ive got this one, the '72 version.The P34 Six Wheeler and the Lotus 72D all in the stash.
Makes me want to build all mine.
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Bugger off, this is not a kit, you are a mad scientist with a shrinking machine.

Great Job! It looks even better than the really expensive die-cast models.

Lovely build :th:
I remember getting the 004 back in the mid 70s as a lad I'd saved for a year a got it at the then Modelling Exhibition in London. It was the biggest most expensive kit I ever bought, loved it :D
