OK, I've had a 1971 Tyrrell option for years, but that was only the Jackie Stewart 1971 British GP car.
I have revamped my offerings and now have options for all 23 cars entered in 11 races during the 1971 season (11 Stewart, 11 Cevert, 1 Peter Revson). This was no easy task as finding photo references on some races (i.e., South Africa) was a challenge. But I think I nailed it.
Stewart won six races: Spain, Monaco, France, Great Britain, Germany and Canada and easily cruised to his second world championship. Cevert scored his one-and-only F1 win at the USGP.
Now, Tyrrell used two different styles of cars during 1971. They started the season with the high, flat winged nose as depicted in the recently released Ebbro Tyrrell 002 kit. At the French GP Stewart debuted the more familiar rounded nose (as depicted in the 1/12 Tamiya kit and yet-to-be-released Ebbro Tyrrel 003), and for the rest of the races the rounded nose was used on all the cars. At the USGP Peter Revson was entered in Tyrrell 001, the main difference between that and 002/003 was the bracing for the roll bar faced backward toward the engine whereas the 002/003 had it moved inward and mounted to the tub, so in the event of an accident the engine coming off the car wouldn't take the roll-bar with it.
Other notes of difference that have been taken into account on my decals:
The early version had a different kill-swith marking than the later version. You can see this on my French GP sample below which shows the rounded nose version on top and the flat nose version on the bottom.
Starting in Italy, the Autolite decal switched to Motorcraft.
French GP the cars had a large "Circuit Paul Ricard" decal on the nose
British GP the cars carried a "woolmark" logo. This is the stylized design on the front nose roundel - it doesn't actually say 'woolmark'.
South Africa had a white Elf logo on the blue body paint. After South Africa it changed to black elf on a white rectangle.
Some races the airbox had the driver's name, some didn't. (early season cars didn't have airbuses)
With 23 different version available in five different scales, there are 115 options available for these decals!
