HIRO 1:12 Mclaren MP4//4

Post by Seema »

Hallo ich möchte mich nochmals vorstellen da ich schon einige Jahre nicht mehr aktiv im Forum war. Mein Name ist Martin Seelos komme aus Innsbruck (Österreich) und bin 50 Jahre. Ich habe dieses modell schon 2013 angefangen musste es aber wegen beruflichen Problemen abbrechen. Jetzt fühle ich mich beteit diesem Bausatz gerecht zu werden. Der Motorblock und Zylinderköpfe wurden mit LP-5 Semi gloss black lackiert und mit Semi gloss klear versiegelt. Die gefrästen Flächen wurden abgeschaltet sodass daß weismetall freigelegt wurde. Es fehlen noch einige kleinteile. Am Wochenende beschäftige ich mich mit dem Ansaug und Spritsystrm. Noch befinde ich mich auf der ersten Seite der Bauanleitung. Es gibt also noch einiges zu tun. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch.

We apologize for the poor quality of the pictures. The cockpit was covered with the kit decals and decorated with a gear lever and stick adjustment. It was not easy to find the right color for the surface. I think it fits quite well. I also worked on the engine. The intake bridge is only available for the picture. The bent fuel lines are very fragile, go a little somewhere and they break. I used my own material for the wiring. They are a little thinner and easier to bend. The fuel line is from ProTech. The next few days the decals will be on the monocoque. I hope you enjoy it.

Hello
I got a little further on 4/4. The cockpit was built into the monocoque and completed. The shoulder straps are fitted at the end. The braking system was upgraded and connected under the nose with metal fittings from Top-Studio. By scaling down the images, the CF decals look weird. Please excuse the pictures.

Hi,

The monocoque is really nice and the assy dashboard/steering wheel looks good!
