Tamiya 1/12 FW14B with full Top Studio set

Post by primabaleron »

On winter evenings I am going to withdraw from MFH ...

I checked the freshly received Top Studio set for Tamiya FW14B:

- more than 500 resin elements

-more than 300 mechanically machined metal elements

- over 50 wires and tubes

- 12 plates with PE elements

- mini decals ...


The Tamiya set has been unchanged for 30 years and ... (as we say in Poland) you can feel it with the mouse ... :)
I believe that after installing everything from Top Sudio this will change.

These parts look so amazing...can't wait to see how all this comes together. I would jump at it but I've learned my lessons in the last 20 years about time, stashsize and built kits....so it's a no no at the moment ;)

Looking forward to your WIP/build. I have the same in my stash and will get to it after I finish my current two WIPs.

Started ! I painted the ZP engine white aluminum and the Mr Hobby gearbox with a mix of burnt iron and gray. I added Scale Motorsport carbon from outside the kit and some PE trim. Beginning of wiring (around 5%...). I will not use the rockers of the car from Top Studio, because they are made of resin. The metal Tamiyas will handle the weight of the whole better.

Half of the hoses. Half of the cables. Half of the tubes...
