pg265 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi, Me again... Engine progress. I was not that happy with the kit throttle linkage... So I decided to build new ones with machined parts from RBMotion. It was also necessary to show a bit of interest regarding the exhaust and prepare the white metal parts of the Spaghetti: To prime and paint them: Other parts are just treated to be left with a natural metal finish: I prefer soldering them instead of gluing for évident reasons: ] I played a bit with the iron in order to replicate weld seams : ] The engine connected to the gear box and vice versa, and install for test fit in its compartment: [/img] Next to the small 1/20 sister : Rear brake discs before assembly on the gear box: ... and few accessories: Modification of the rear hubs in order to adapt machined parts:[/img] Time for primer: The body is drilled in order to be riveted with MFH aluminium rivets: The engine is... big. Almost the size of the 1/20 kit: Rosso Corsa GC and Semi Gloss Black ZP on the rear shocks and the steering wheel. Dull Aluminium (Alclad) on the rear hubs Test fit of the front end: Heat shield adjusted and drilled for the roll cage: Titanium White GC: Not very happy with the Dull Alu, so black Alclad is sprayed: Tubes installed in the radiator and started to work on the rear suspension components: Front brakes scoops are painted white: test fitting of the bathtub: Weld seams on the 3in1 exhaust parts: I really apologize for the poor quality of the pictures... Alclad White Alu and Klear Kote. Paint family picture: Wheels prep & paint session:] Primer: Alclad Black: Pale Gold Alclad: Masking off: Time for oils: Test fit of anti roll bar, gearbox and half side transmission. I’ve modified the throttle linkage. The White Metal original ones were not that good, so I replaced them with machined parts. The mesh over the stacks is now done, and I must admit it was pretty fun to form and install: I’m mot unhappy with the result. Oils have also been applied on the heat shield as well as a portion of aluminium tape on both external sides.[br]I really like the view of the trumpets through the mesh.] The rear stab bar has b een remade with 1mm ø brass, which was later chemically burnished. ] Now working on the connection rods.One started compared to raw white metal original part. More soon Pascal 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharknose156 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hello Pascal, Top work quality as usual. I have the same question as Harvey on the welding seams ! Great you changed the throttle arms. i did the same on the Eagle 1:20 but did not post yet. They were unrealistically flat and made of metal etched, i just used small iron rounded shape bars etc. and scratched. Next time i will look at the RBmotion solution. best you Sam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Not enough seats for me, but MFH is MFH so crack on! Lovely work so far. What wash do you use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Good evening, Thanks a lot for your kind comments. I use different technics for the weld lines. I really like to use the iron to make them as it can be seen on the front oil/water tank for example.Low temp iron and low temp solder is needed... I fisrt put some flux on the surfaces that need to be soldered to help the solder to run easily. Once the parts are assembled, I had a bit of low temp solder to slightly thicken the weld line. I then decrease the temperature to something around 80°C and “work” the weld line like a real one, pushing the iron to create the “wave” then pulling back the iron and pushing again for the next one. The succession of waves create the weld line. I hope my explanation is understandable; sorry for my poor English... I also sometimes use Archer resin weld lines, mainly when the part has to be painted. You can have an idea of the result if you have a look to my 1/12 MFH McLaren M7A WIPs. On the following pics, the weld lines are made of photo etched from Top Studio. I think I’ve maybe also used them and others, once again, on both the 1/20 M7A and 1/20 ‘67 Ferrari 312F1 WIPs. I hope it will be of some help. More pics to follow Pascal 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 I worked a bit on the small metal tanks and others parts that needed to be cleaned and polished. Fuel filter/distributor and water expansion tank. I also made a quick test of the pedals on the front bulkhead. Test fit of the rear structure and tank. Battery and coils prepaired, masked and primed. Starting to connecting brakes and fuel pipes. I also decided to “scratch” the Engine pan. Alfa Rosso On the coils: ... And white (Titanium White GC) for the battery I hope you enjoy the WIP. More soon! Pascal 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharknose156 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Yes very enjoyable. You make fantastic builds and i used to follow you on another site. Very happy you are posting here. after you put the wash, do you coat shiny metallic parts with Gauzy or similar ? Am frustrated waiting for 3 mm screws from MFH to progress on the Eagle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I've just back tracked on this thread some, the last viewing was on my phone, it looks much better on my laptop, some wonderful work going on here Pascal, your detail is sublime. I've also enjoyed looking at Ferrari's engineering solutions, quite fascinating but that engine, its a bit of a novel effort to my mind.

pg265 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi, Thanks a lot Mate! Sanding, welding, riveting... Few progress in the “office” area. Paint session, dashboard session and gear lever/selector. I was not that happy with the instruments, so I turned new ones and made brackets from aluminium foil. Then test fitting. Oils and screws added on the steering wheel and, of course, the Cavallino Rampante! Voilà. Pascal 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
