Tamiya 1/12 FW14B with full Top Studio set

[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.
