After a few weeks off modelling I was back at it yesterday, well only an hours or so but it needed to be done. Started constructing the suspension for this one. The detail is great. It shows what Tamiya are capable of. There is quite a lot involved int he construction of this despite the fact that the majority of it is hidden away under the sideskirts. I am only half way through the left hand side but it gives you an idea of what is there.
Here is the sproket wheel
The idler wheel
The jockey wheel assembly
The rear left handside roadwheel assembly. There are two double sets of these that make up the rest of one side. I’ll take some pics of them once made. Look at the bolt head detail. Very nice.
Here is the idler and jockey wheel attached and a shot of the sprocket attached to the lower hull.
More soon…
