1971 Tyrrell 003 1/12 WIP....

[hurtubise56]

Finally got around to posting some progress pics of this one.  My wife bought me this for my birthday when they first came out, started it right away, then took a long break.  Pulled it out a month or so ago and got back to work.  SLOW progress, but fun.  Will update as I go, but don't expect pics every week, real racing season is coming!  Also, pics are taken somewhere besides my workbench, WAY too cluttered for pics!

Seat, with kit-supplied belt material and P/E:







Motor/trans so far:

looking good Brian. The underside of that engine looks real.

Thanks, Gary! The early 003 without the airbox leaves the engine so exposed, I just had to go nuts with painting bolt heads, flanges, etc. Time consuming but worth it on this car.

For sure Brian...you did GREAT!

Well that’s an awesome start! The engine looks fantastic.

Brian, your usual beautiful work! I have that kit still shrink wrapped. I should build it except there's seven Ferrari's in line in front of it. I need to stop growing older somehow.

cheers

It really does make a difference. Kudos on the great start!
