Ebbro 1/20 kit, 1971 Tyrrell chassis 003. i prefer the look of the taller nose car but this is the kit that i could find. Tamiya TS-15 blue, no modifications aside from adding spark plug wires. been working on this kit off and on for quite a while now, stopped a while back because the header assembly was giving me fits... then one day i sat down with it again and put the headers together effortlessly. rear suspension didn't turn out like it should have, so i took a limited amount of pictures.










thanks for the lookie-loo

yet to see this one built.....nice work!!!!!
Speaking of Mr Stewart.....ever see the time ABC Sports sent him into the infield during a Southern 500.....asking fans if they knew who Jackie Stewart was??? Funny stuff.

Looks excellent, esp. the paint.

Not high gloss and so to me looks period and scale correct.

Top Gear. Jackie Stewart teaching James May to drive is a good watch.

As Jackie hisself might say: "It's a great day for motor car model building".

As the son of a Scotsman, Stewart was a natural favorite for me. Great job with this motor car.

Thank you for sharing your fine build.

Nice work! Haven't seen a whole lot of Ebbro kits built yet, yours looks great! I am (slowly) working on the Tamiya 1/12 kit of this very car.

Very nicely done! Ebbro kits are very detailed, and you need to do a lot of test fitting and take your time. The Lotus 72 is a great kit as well and builds up to a nice looking replica.

Still waiting for the Tyrrell 006...
