Re: Tyrrell P34 mega build up!! RESURRECTION!!
[quote="sky1911"But as it is 1/20, I guess the outsized "motorized" DFV engine wasn't an issue.[/quote]
I think that Tamiya gave up on the motorised 1/20 F1 cars very quickly. None of the P34 kits I have seen have had one. They all had the "scale engine"
One of my Lotus 78 was motorised and one day I will replace that build.

Re: Tyrrell P34 mega build up!! RESURRECTION!!
Great to see a build restarted. Had some on mine for 5+ years in the making and counting ...
Works that way for me. I just have to artificially limit number of project going in parallel. Used to be up to 5. At present it is 0, though.sky1911 wrote:In the plane crowd there are a few that believe having more than one kit on the bench is good practice as when you get bored with or hit a dead end with your object of focus you can just as easy move onto another and carry the momentum and return later with a fresh mind. Sort of.

This one:
Looking for pictures under the driver cowling and under the nose. Also trying to figure out if the side pods are removable independent of each other or if they are connected as one like the early 1977 car with one piece body.
Do you have all the pics from Project34 webside?
I think the sidepods can be removed seperatly but not sure as there is not much around about this car, still have the 76 MFH book and a lot of unsorted pics, very hard to tell as there have been many differences about the front end.
Edit: By the way, the 15 engines in a row looking impressive!
Take a stand!

Re: Tyrrell P34 mega build up!! RESURRECTION!!
Oh! this amazing and completely bonkers project of building 34 P34s is still alive??
When this was launched, the Fujimi models were not available yet, but as they are now, will you change the MFH models to using the Fujimi bodywork?
It would probably make your life a bit easier...
Here is another mad idea; A P34 with the Renault turbo engine it was supposed to have
(edit: doh, sorry for bringing this to the top. I saw the resurrected drill-bit thread, and did not check the dates. )

Interestingly, Depailler's 1976 Japanese GP car had a longer wheelbase than Scheckter's. I'm not sure if that's the only race with this difference.
