    My little beast is ready , looking for his match to snuggle with ! A model by himself , really full of details .

    The truth is that there were moments when I wanted to throw him out of the window (trying to install some cables - pipes). You see, she is super complete of the two, you can see that. However, my persistence (like a fly) and my patience were finally rewarded .

    Nothing special to mention , other than on some spots is very -VERY- tricky and needs all of your attention on what do you see in the instructions and what you have in your hand .

    That's for now , I am going back to my bench , to unite the two into one .

    Live from Mike's bench church :

    "Do you Cosworth accept Tyrrell as your wife?

    Yes, I do .

    And you Tyrrell, do you accept Cosworth as your husband?

    Yes, I do .

    In the name of glue , cutter and aerograph , I call you husband and wife . May the Force be with you !"

    All set and ready , the engine it went up more easily and painlessly than I feared, without losses and dramas. The last cables and pipes went in, radiators (with a little pain in a*s) goes in place , two or three more small things and we are here as you see.

    From here starts another big journey : painting !

    But this is a tommorow story . Rest for everyone (and first wedding night for others) and see you soon.

    This is really impressive, Michael @faraomike
    You really get the idea to be looking at a real engine and chassis.

    It certainly won't stay that way, dear John @johnb . Without the six wheels and her suit she's just an impressive corpse ...
