Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
Let me know what yall think
Here is a couple of pics of the real one Also can anyone tell me where to get replacement Tamiya decals? I was working on a Team Phoenix Opel Astra and ripped a decal to shreds. The hobby shop I go to does not carry the replacement decals.

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
Nice work! It looks like you really put a lot of effort into it, as for replacement parts, you can also get them from HLJ, although it may take slightly longer.

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
It look very nice. If you want to put more details, nearly everything that is X18 on this kit is Carbon, so there is a lot of fun to have.
If you want to have an idea, just look on mine here: http://models.magietec.com/gallery/v/Race/GT1/ Also, be sure to not make the same mistake I did. Read on ScaleWiki: http://www.scalewiki.com/wiki/index....One_TS020_Tips

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
I have been to 2 different hobby shops here were I live and none of the carry a good carbon fiber decal.
Yea I read about that. Both tape masks are on the tape sheet but they just don't tell you where they go so I am not totaly sure which one goes where since they arn't even labeled. BTW verry nice work on yours. I found these great pics of the No. 3 car http://www.museumcollection.co.jp/ga...yota/ts020.htm The X18 on the wing is actualy painted black and not carbon fiber but that is one of the few places I have noticed that it is in fact paint.

Nice job so far.... You're right Vric,it pays to do your research as Tamiya's instructions detail the paint job how the car looked in another race (Suzuka 1000km I think), NOT Le Mans. Here's mine showing how it should look.. Also note how the rear wing markings are (the red traingular bits), Tamiya don't tell you to use these either. Here's the actual No3 car from Le Mans photographed at Goodwood last year...carbon on the inside of the rear wing.... And the correct paint scheme seen from the front... HTH, Paul

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
I know this is the No.3 car as well it is one of the pic in the link I posted above and it still looks like its painted. Im not sure what race it was taken after but it looks like it could have been in japan. Maybe it was a change between the two races,

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
Anyway, since both are accurate, if you have some carbon, just do it.. it look nice

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
Your engine looks awesome. Just goes to show that when it comes to racecars everything can change from day to day. So if you dont want to put the Carbon then don't, I think it looks just a good with or without.

Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One engine
I agree, great looking engine! And you have realized one of the important aspects of race car modelling. There are probably as many subtle variations as there are mechanics that worked on the cars!
Have you seen this variant before: http://members.shaw.ca/millersbrm/Lexus.html keep up the great work Stephen |
