discussion Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell P34 #20053

I found a good way of bringing the rear brake light to life. I've used a small piece of foil insulation tape and I pressed it against the sheet of mesh that I had to emboss it with a texture. I've then gone over it with red lacquer. It's worked quite well.

Thanks for sharing that tip - very effective and definitely one I'll be storing away for my own use...

I got a few bits stuck together today. It's getting there

Wheels on.

I'll need to look up how to paint the driver now. That will be a new experience

I think that's the car more or less there. I'm trying to paint the driver now.

Assembly has been the trickiest bit so far

Looks fantastic, I would never know you had paint/ decals issues.
Did you paint the white Goodyear logos on the tyres and if so how did you do it?

Thanks Stefee. It's not going to win any prizes, but it's much better than I thought it would turn out.

I used Tamiya XF-2 about 1:1 with thinners and just painted the Goodyear logos with a small brush.
