kpnuts Posted April 5, 2022 Author #3 Posted April 5, 2022 Hi all well I've made a start. For a Tamiya kit there are some horrid seams on the front end. I've not glued anything in the front yet, this is just for a look see I've masked the inside of the tank and tried to show some fuel in there.

mtaylor Posted April 5, 2022 #5 Posted April 5, 2022 I must confess I'm surprised that the tank is clear plastic. I'm assuming the real ones were that way also and there was no fuel bladder?

kpnuts Posted April 8, 2022 Author #10 Posted April 8, 2022 Hi all added battery cables and starter motor cables. I've got to say I'm super happy with the metal effects on this. The casings would be made of magnesium and I've worked up close and personal on hundreds of these and I don't think I could get more realistic results, I tried a different approach, normally I use ABT engine grease thinned down to a wash but I didn't want to disturb the mig steel colour I had used which I know white spirit based wash would so I tried a wash of vallejo engine grey over it. I'm loving the result, I can see me using this again. GrandpaPhil, Canute, hof00 and 13 others 16 Quote

kpnuts Posted April 9, 2022 Author #12 Posted April 9, 2022 OK so I've added the advance retard pipe to the distributor (assuming you can even see it) Body painted. And more work on the engine Paul Le Wol, Old Collingwood, Canute and 9 others 11 1 Quote
kpnuts Posted April 10, 2022 Author #13 Posted April 10, 2022 Did some work on the fuel pump, Tamiya would have you use plastic tube for the fuel lines whereas they are metal on the real thing. Since I've used artistic licence already and depicted gold plated nuts and bolts I decided to depict gold plated fuel lines too. Canute, Tim Moore, Egilman and 11 others 12 2 Quote
