This is my first 1:43 build...I build almost all scales but I forgot 1:43
I saw some some WIP about Tameo kits and I wanted to try this detailed gems. This is the WTC series the most detailed one. Here you see all the photo etch parts.
After all the 1:8 stuff I must get used to this size :mrgreen: Here is the engine next to a 0.8 mm drill.
This kit does not contain wiring or cables but I want to detail these too. So I have to drill 12 0.2 mm holes for the spark plugs
The brake discs consist of 3 separate parts
Gearbox (5 by 5 mm)
For an easy build-up of the engine I soldered a stand.
Start of the build-up of the engine
The biggest job was making the trumpets with the mesh. The mesh is not included so I bought it separately.
It was a brain crusher how to make these 1mm mesh spheres but this is my solution
folding the mesh around the pin head makes a sphere
this is the result
Here you can see the trumpets on the engine
The quality of the pictures are mediocre due to the the fact that the engine is 3 centimeters long. Also the color is not correct...it looks like a lumb of gold
