New shipyard: Brabham BT33 Heller 1/24. No very first youth (it reminds me of my teenage years) Nice engine for the scale and year of manufacture   The dashboard redone to be closer to reality and making the non-existent seat padding ....  Overall view:  |

Great start, good improvement on the seat. These 1/24 F1 Heller kits are so much fun to build. Only bad thing are those oversized wheels.

Great start, good improvement on the seat. These 1/24 F1 Heller kits are so much fun to build. Only bad thing are those oversized wheels. Do you know the tires size and what tire I can put tu accurate my Brabham Based on drawings and photos, I would think that at 1/24th scale, rear tires should have 27.5-28.0 mm outer diameter and 17.0-17.5 mm width, while front tires should have 22.5-23.0 mm outer diameter and 11.5-12.0 mm width. Heller kit rear tires have 29.3mm outer diameter and 18.2 mm width, while front tires have 23.5mm outer diameter and 13.2 mm width. There are discontinued MFH tires with dimensions that are also too large, rear wheels 29 mm outside diameter and 18 mm width, front wheels 26 mm outside diameter and 13.8 mm width. What I do is use the wheels from the kit, thinning rear wheels to 17 mm and front ones to 12 mm, you can see it in this thread
If you want I can send you some resin copies. |
