Re: WIP: Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell Yamaha 023

Hello everyone. I haven't disappeared, been abducted or given up modelling, I have just been really busy with other stuff. I've been working on the Tyrrell for about 6 hours in the last week and plan to do a proper update with photos this weekend.

I removed the fabrication work that I had done on the front suspension area and have now replaced it with a much better formed plasticard pieces. It sits much lower now, allowing me to recreate the front suspension properly.

Also, someone kindly PM'ed me some additional photographs of the rear of the car. It shows that the bottom element of the rear wing is a single piece and not the double piece with the light housing in the middle which ran in the later races of the 95 season. Also, the waisted rear cowling will have to be squared off too. All of that, I can worry about in a few months as I am going to be focussing on getting the monocoque sorted for now... and that is a much bigger job than I originally planned.

Cheers,
Bill

P.S. Thanks to those of you who PM'ed me over the last 3 months to check that I was okay. I really appreciated it.
