pg265 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi, Thanks This is the other solution regarding the exhaust weld lines. I made a real flat weld line with low temp solder. It was then masked with liquid mask and treated with burnishing product. A mask a bit larger was then done before shooting primer and mat black I think I will add few accessories: Pascal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi, Not that happy with the former result: Plouf! gone to swim in the cellulose thinner. New black layer sprayed ZP Black on the gloves too: ... and Pure White on the helmet: Maskol off, ZP Translucent blue and W&N Ivory black wash down on the weld lines area: Not decided yet... Couldn't resist to compare the DFV with the 500 F2 engine! Should have done the same with the Tipo 218 V12 of the312F1... Pascal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caterhamnut Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Stunning Pascal. How do you drill your tiny holes when replacing molded fittings with 'real' nuts and bolts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi, Thanks caterhamnut I first point the center with a needle, the just use a pin vice. Transmission is now almost done.

colin Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 They say these kits are expensive, but with skill(which you have) if everything so far is oob when you add it up,compared to buying a kit then a load of aftermarket they suddenly don't seem that expensive.

caterhamnut Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I had been trying to figure out what those black 'objects' were next the the engine/exhaust sub-assembly pictures - maybe some sort of the you were using .....but later pictures show that they are actually pen marks on the white box 'stand' lol... The sort of superb, clean build I aspire to with my (probably much easier to work on) 1/12 MFH models.....lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi, Thanks :wink: Started to work on the instrument panel and tachometer/tacho connection. Angle gear is made of 2 parts of brass connectors, filed down and soldered. Not the best, but not too bad due to the fact that the part diameter is 0.7. The genuine hole in the tachometer is drilled with 0.5 bit, then filled with 0.5 lead wire. Pascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Good grief, I can hardly see those connectors on my screen - they'd be invisible to me in real life even with my magnifying specs.! Incredible soldering there Pascal! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharknose156 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Great work Pascal. Just been discovering your work ( Chris Amon's Ferrari and the F2 500 on Plastik but the pics are gone ) and it is fantastic. What is the size of the car in 1/20 about ? Am having fun ( and trouble with the 1/12 scale and i wonder if 1/20 is not too small to handle . But you have made me very interested in the MFH models. Cheers and Bravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
