Hi

Thanks a lot Mates.
I'm glad you're still enjoying the WIP.

I decided to make the fuel cells connection faucet. It's made of white metal and a spare / modified distributor.

the lower body part is now done and weathered

All the body parts are now fully dry. White dust is coming from the varnish dust while reopening the rivet holes.
The CAVALLINO is installed on the nose and the original decal is replaced by an "enamelled" badge from an old MFH reference.

Hi,

Thank you very much.

Decisive assembly if any, the engine is assembled with the chassis.

Assy is done with Loctite 401 and reinforced, as usual, with screws, washers and bolts.

The inside of the bathtub is done, the seat is finally installed as the side water pipe and the gear selector.

Hi,

Thank you very much Mates ;)

I made and temporary installed the soft fuel cell. We call it Bladder for aircrafts...
It was not modeled by MFH and, even if the polished metal part is nice, the front end was too empty for my taste.
The fuel cell fills the both sides and the front body above the pilot legs.
I made it from self amalgamating tape which depicts pretty well the rubber bladder.

Then, rivets..
I finally installed about 300 and need around 300 more.
So I primed, painted and varnished those ...300 rivets.

Well, the last 2 days have been productive!
The front is finished, the back is finished, the middle ... also ...
Some touch-ups and Dzus to install, a clean up and PAF!: It smells of stable!

Here are some pictures for which I apologize in advance for the cleanliness of the model.
But it is heavy and the last assemblies require full hand handling.

Brilliant - just brilliant - especially the bladder.

Pascal, what type and brand of paint is the red? Your application looks flawless without either sanding or clear.

I am dripping with envy................:banghead:

Good evening Mates,

A sincere big thank you to everyone for your patience, your interest in this WIP and your comments.
I'm glad you liked this build.

That's it, the last touch-ups are done, the last parts installed and the last minute adjustments made.
So I redid the wedges that support the Belle with a slightly increased "ground clearance".
They are turned in a 10mm aluminum log for more solidity and stability, the Baby is doing well: 1.4kg
... and decorated with Cavallino.

 

@Codger: Thanks a lot ;)

The Rosso Corsa is from Garvity Colors. Primer, Giallo Modena, Titanium White and Clear Coat are also from GC.

Black(s), pure white, Alfa red (coils) and other colors from ZP.

Metallic colors from Alclad, AK, Model Master, Rub'n'buff, Humbrol Metal cote... 

... And many others!

I connected the last tube and made a little oil to inject it inside.
