Tempo E400

[jknaus]

Try this again. I havent had much time for modeling but started the new Miniart Tempo E400 because I really wanted to do it. Here is about 2 hours work. .03mm brake lines started and the line from the break pedal/break handle. The PE is very fine and the kit is very fiddly. So far though it has been fun.

Doing the pickup version and then I have 2 more after that. Looking forward to doing the Red Cross version shown on the top box.

Nice start James!

That just CUTE! I wonder how a drag race between a Tempo and a Tilly would come out?

Not well I dont think. This just has a 2 stroke 400cc engine.

Make it a 3 way with the Cushman scooter!

That's a productive couple hours.

I thought I wanted a Tempo pickup model really bad. It isn't made by Communists so I can buy one. I found this particular kit just a might pricey for me right now. It is still really cool!!

Finally got the seats painted. Tamiya red brown lightly sprayed over and then burnt umber oil paint followed by a mix of burnt umber and orange as I cant find my Mars brown. Should be dry enough by the weekend to install.

Now this is something different and very cool. Will be watching this one come together for sure.

Crap, I need to get the mini-ambulance... looks good, really good. Which of the two kits did you start?

I had something similar to this, without the holes which I used to ensure parts were square. Where did you get these?

I have started the pick up version. I will do the Red Cross vehicle next. There are two, one white and the box top one of beige with red trim I really like.
I got these from Amazon and am going to buy some more. They are awesome for truing multi part frame and chassis assemblies. I might get a set without holes as well although the holes are very useful. Also great weights when truing the chassis so it doesnt twist while drying.

If anyone doesn't want to follow the links, or wants to look elsewhere, the two blocks are called 1-2-3 blocks. They are proportional 1 thick by 2 wide, by 3 long. That doesn't mean they are exactly 1 inch by 2 inch by 3 inch. I have a set as well but never use them it seems. I have an awesome sine vise that works for me.
