Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell P34 #20053
I'm not sure if they banned it or not, I think it just became uncompetitive? I have a 1/20 scale Honda RA272 waiting to be built too. I think that's around the era you're after. It looks like a nice kit- Hecky

Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell P34 #20053
I had a go at making some mesh covers for the throttle body trumpets out of some plastic mesh and some wire but I'm not happy with them. I'm going to try again with some steel mesh to see if it's any better.- Hecky

Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell P34 #20053
I started it at the weekend and got a few bits painted. I need to flat back the lacquer on the body parts and give it another coat as it's got a bit of texture over the decals.- Hecky

Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell P34 #20053
I've decided to have a go at some F1 cars. I'm using this Tyrrell as a bit of a warm up before I try the Lotus Type 79. It's going to be more or less an out of the box build with some extra pipes here and there and the Studio 27 PE parts.- Hecky

I'll give that AK Super Chrome a shot. The blue on the calipers is just Tamiya LP48 with X23 over the top. It gives a good anodised blue effect- Hecky

Yamaha YZF-R1 1999
Thanks Folks. The key seems to be finding products that work. Ones I've found so far: - Citadel Chaos Black spray cans for anything that needs Matt black like seat covers etc. - Zero Paints if you really insist on getting the correct body colours. They're pre thinned for airbrush. - Citadel...- Hecky

Yamaha YZF-R1 1999
This has been a quick build. There's not as much detail in these kits as there is in the race bikes. I've made it for a friend who used to have a year 2000 bike and this was the closest I could get.- Hecky

Glue for foil
Metal leaf adhesive is usually acrylic. The stuff I got with my gold leaf kit looks like really thin runny PVA when it goes on but it dries tacky similar to an impact adhesive before you brush on the gold leaf. There's no info on the bottle label to give me a clue as to what's in it I'm afraid...- Hecky

I've enjoyed this build. It's taken a while but I'm fairly happy with it. There's the usual flaws here and there but it gives me something to try and improve for the next one!- Hecky

Tamiya Team Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR '20
I got the lacquer on the body panels today. It was near perfect conditions in the outdoor spray booth with no wind or rain. It's my first go at using the Zero Paints lacquer in the airbrush, it's so much better than using the aerosol cans.- Hecky

I'm slowly getting there with the body work. I've had a few goes at the decals with softener to get them to lie down and they're just about ready for lacquer.- Hecky

For the carbon in the middle of the headstock and on the brake shields, I've opted to spray some metallic gray through a gauze rather than use a carbon decal as the weave is so fine on these parts that it's nearly black. A carbon decal wouldn't have looked correct with the scale.- Hecky

I've tried something a bit different with the brakes. Rather than going for the factory fresh look, I've tried using some oils to make them look like they've done a few laps. It makes it look a bit more like the actual bike- Hecky
