Hi,

Thank you mates. ;)
 
Few progress!

It is requested by the manual to reduce the intake manifold by one millimeter.
It is modified and reinforced using 0.8 brass so it will not move for milling.

 
d58d7110.jpg
 
The shafts are prepared as well as the calipers.
You can see the difference with original OOB parts.
 
48d88010.jpg

The gearbox is painted With aluminium (Dull Alu Alclad), instead of the black  recommended.

Same thing for the engine block after being quickly masked with tape and liquid mask.

Good evening,

Thank you. ;)

 

The base of the vermiculated paint of the camshaft covers is done.
The other stages of painting will not be long in coming.

In the meantime, the hardware is in preparation.

Good evening,
 

The shaft covers are lightly retouched with Sennelier and Humbrol reds before being matt varnished with Aeromaster.

They are installed and fitted with ACT bearing covers.

I turned new caps for the oil filler, but I'm not sure yet to use them...

This is also an opportunity to start installing the bolts.
 
That's all.

Good evening,
 
Thank you!
 
Some progress today, but a lot of preparation, painting… and compressors to repair and maintain!
 
A little work on the exhaust manifolds to start.
They are passed under different grits and then lightly polished.
 
87c87510.jpg
 
A small bath in Blacken'it to burnish the exhaust tubes and a bath in water to stop the reaction.
 
e47d2510.jpg
 
Then suick wipe with a soft cloth to shine a little
 
3dcce810.jpg
 
The purpose of the operation is to give a slightly used appearance due to the heat by flaking the paint while having tubes marked by the heat.
We dab a bit of liquid mask using a foam pad, then comes a coat of well-diluted matte black paint; here some Tamiya matt black.
After passing a brush with medium bristles, I get the result I was looking for.

The magneto is painted and installed, the distributor head drilled.
The rear of the engine is fitted with covers.

Working on the carbs, linkage and fuel supply, stacks...

In the end, I did not use the corks that I had turned yesterday.
 
More soon.

That is indeed an exquisite thing you are working on! I've never witnessed a MFH car build "from the ground up" so this is an interesting build thread for me. Brilliant little extras too👍 Love the wheel build sequence by the way

Good morning all,

 
Thank you! ;)


Alright, it got hot today!
I tackled the cabin and the chassis.
As usual, my preference goes for welding the parts supporting a certain constraint.
Let's take the iron, the LTS, the flux, the files, the with parallel jaws pliers… all the stuff.

 

7d552e10.jpg

There is a lot of work to be done on the chassis tubes. I still don't know if I'll leave it natural metal or if I paint it grey...
Surely grey.
 
All elements of the cabin are also welded.
The pedals are installed and improved a bit.

Well, still a lot of work preparing the chassis tubes and the ancillary parts that are grafted on.
All the holes are made, as well as the threads for screw assemblies.
Finally, the front part of the chassis and the passenger compartment are permanently assembled by welding.

I took the opportunity to validate the installation of the engine on the supports and the cradle.

 

e34b6410.jpg

 

3dfe5f10.jpg
 
I decided to redo the front part of the cockpit in aluminium.
A little Kabuki pattern, cut out wide Speed tape, and presto!

I couldn't resist assembling one of the tanks whose 5 parts require a little preparation.
Heat the iron again and solder.

Next very soon.

Good evening,

 
Thank you! ;)

 

A lot of preparation  today… and welding!
The tanks are assembled by welding once again.
The side tanks still have to be masked to be painted in Rosso Corsa on the outside.

Good evening,
 
 Grazie mille! ;)


Here we are!
The rear part of the tubular frame is finished!
A lot of work: shaping to ensure a good geometry, the symmetry of all the elements before they are fixed...
The advantage is that the assembly is very economical… in glue!
Not even a drop for the entire chassis so far.

 

d4726110.jpg

 

d5cc1710.jpg
 
The blank assembly of the tanks seems to validate the operation.
 
0726c510.jpg

 

3623be10.jpg
 
The box will be integrated later, after painting the chassis in gray.
Grayish Blue (FS35237) in this case I think, as I did for the Tipo 500.

Recent documents have made me modify the cabin and remove the aluminum previously installed.

Good evening,
 
Thanks so much Mates! ;)

Still preparing and fine-tuning some future assemblies…
Masking session as a prelude to the painting stages.

I took advantage of fixing the tie rods of the engine mount to weld all the elements of the radiators (water & oil).
 
b0ff0310.jpg
 
I also, as usual, turned spacers to support the weight of the model.
They are tapped at 1.4 to receive the fixing screws.

Lovely to see some of the front engined F1 cars being kitted in a large scale.

The way this model is going together being shared by Dan demonstrates the construction of the real car in detail.

I will be following this thread with interest as this looks like being a superb build.

 

I saw an Alfetta 159 that appeared at Telford on the competition table where the modeller had cut away body parts from his MFH model to show parts that would normally be hidden.

Good evening,

 

Thank you very much!;)
 
Let’s go!
The primer is applied.

And Grayish Blue FS35237 for the chassis. What goes to the F-14 can only be good!!

Hello,

 

The chassis is unmasked.
The gray reinforces the contrasts and brings a little more realism in my opinion…

Good evening,
 
 2nd update of the day:violin:


The chassis plate, represented in white resin in the kit, is covered with aluminum, front / back.
The Duct Tape is smoothed with a card (my license) to avoid air bubbles and to make it conform without creases on the beveled faces.
 
91dd1c10.jpg

 

989a0810.jpg

The gearbox is now in place.
I take this opportunity to make a blank assembly of the transmission and the triangles.
 
042c2d10.jpg
 
5752df10.jpg

 

…and we check the installation of the tanks.

The driveshaft is prepared and installed.
The tunnel, in a slightly duller tone, is also installed and begins to « dress » the cockpit.
