TAMIYA 1/24 HONDA S600
Last time, I made a Fujimi model Toyota S800, so this time I will make a Tamiya Honda S600.
* Precautions for assembly
engine
The details of the engine have been improved by referring to the pictures on the internet.
The battery adheres to the radiator, but the width of the battery is just barely in the engine compertment, so if you install something beyond the battery width, the engine will not fit.
It is better not to put out the battery cords from the side.
Chassis installation
There are some instability in getting the four wheels to touch the ground accurately.
The dashboard is glued to the body, but if not glued horizontally, the door lining will interfere with the dashboard and the chassis will not fit to the edges.
In that case, the ladder frame will not adhere well.
The installation of the engine, dashboard, chassis and rudder frame of this model is very strict.
It would be nice if there was a margin of about 0.5 mm for mounting the parts, but it is okay to cut the boundary part of the door lining with the dashboard by about 0.5 mm.
Tire bonding
The drum brake is glued to the wheel, but the shaft is not the type that penetrates the drum brake.
It is unstable because the adhesive surface is small.
Here, remove the paint and glue the four wheels, making sure they are in contact with the ground.
For this reason, the grounding of the four wheels becomes a little unstable.
Painting
The body is painted white and light blue, with yellow lines on the hood and roof.
There is no such color in the actual car, but it is good to faithfully reproduce the actual car, but it is also fun to paint with your favorite color.
Weathering is the usual method.
Draw by trial and error what to do to add depth to the painted surface.
The difficulty of painting a car model is that the body is like bending and pasting a board, so it becomes monotonous.
Shadowing the lighting in the finished photo will make it more realistic, but the lighting will be as average as possible, so it will look like a toy to the eye.
Right now, I'm painting with a brush, but I'm trying various things to see if there is a realistic picture like a scale model, not the realism of the actual car.
Next, I will make a TOYOTA 2000GT!
Let's meet again!
thank you very much.
