Great job!! This is something really helpful. My respects because of the big amount of time to collect the information. Many of the pictures are the first time I see, and are very interesting. Any chance to upload the pictures in the Gallery with better quality? It would be perfect.

Thanks a lot!!

About the clear brown tubing. I have found ref. P0975 in the MFH website. It is described as Brown Color Clear Tube for 1/12 but diameter is not related. Anybody knows?. There is another clear brown ref. P0958 but it is too thin for 1:12, 04/02 mm

In that years all cars were significantly different in the shape of the body. I would select a car with the best wheels as its something I have no chance to replicate. You can do the body parts by vacforming. One of my friends has a vacforming box and he is getting good results

I didn't know. Thanks for the info!!!

Great job Howard, engine looks superb. I don't like fishing nylon to do the fuel lines. It is slightly green and I don't like the effect. Take a look over here http://www.a-msystems.com/s-57-biomedical-silicone-tubing.aspx I have not tryed yet but seems good. 0,63 mm external size means 7,62 mm in 1...

It could be great if you suggest to your Haynes family an in-depth manual of the DFV. A best seller for modellers

Hi GenX, I was referring to this (not a DFV manual per se but...) http://www.amazon.com/The-Ford-Cosworth-DFV-greatest/dp/1844253376/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357736652&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=coswoth+dfv Publisher: Haynes Publishing (July 1, 2007) I have the DFV book. If you are looking...

Hi all,

Anyone has this book? How good is for modelling help? I am looking for detail pictures and story of modification race by race

Thanks in advance

I have added a Gallery Lotus 81 1980 with the GPI pictures of the Lotus gearbox plus some other interesting shots.
James is right GPI is The Bible for the period 1979-1983. It is very easy to find at ebay. Don't doubt to buy. No better information available

If anyone desires to emulate the work of michelb, I have one kit of F399 for sale
360 euros + shipping cost. It is unstarted of course
