Hello,

Thank you!

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

Next very soon.

Good evening,


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.

Image

Image

Image

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

Image

Image

…and we check the installation of the tanks.

Image

Image

Image

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

Image

Image

Next soon!

Good evening,

Thanks a lot and sorry for replying so late…
But I had good reasons…I had T-6.

Image

Some progress.
I modified the fuel supply, created a pump and am in the process of modifying the tanks...

Image

Image

Image

the shock absorbers are slightly modified, painted and temporarily installed to adjust the symmetry of the rear axle.

Image

A lot of other things in the process of being prepared or modified.

I prepared and installed the front axle as well as the rear.
The calipers are in progress.

Image

Image

Image

I also quickly turned a 5/10 washer to fix an interference at the steering box.

Image

Image

I also took the opportunity to turn another brass piece to place on the gearbox.

Image

The gearbox is also now connected to the gearshift in the cockpit.

Image

Start of ignition installation.
I think MFH made a mistake about the spark plug cables coming from the magneto...
The distributor head will remain barely visible once the body is installed.

Image

Image

Image

Even if it is still difficult to see, the porcelains are painted white and I have installed sleeves on the spark plug wires.

I didn't like the depth of the counters... way too deep.
So I turned Alu inserts to raise the bottom.
ø 6.8 and 4mm, thickness 1.55 and 1mm.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Still had to be careful with the rev counter because I decided to modify the assembly and install 2 photo-etched needles (plus their axis).
It mustn’t interfere with the glass.

Image

Here they are fitted with their windows and installed, temporarily, on the dashboard.
I'm going to modify their back side a bit.

Image

Image

I also turned then passed under the milling machine a brass fuel connector and installed it, again temporarily, on the fuel pump drilled for the occasion.

Image

Then connected:
- the fuel pump on the carb ramp with the pipe previously painted in yellow,
- the oil pump with the block.

Image

Image

I could not see myself presenting my model without representing the linkage of the carbs.
So I made a steel control gear in a photo-etched scrap.
Then I turned a brass spacer to mount it against the block.
The assembly is mounted on a bolt and its washer.

Image

Then I installed it on the engine with the clevises, the linkage and the return spring.

Image

Image

I took the opportunity to make a bevel gear for the rev counter by… turning a brass part and fitting myself into a part I had.

Image

Image

…. and another brass piece is again turned to complete the rear of the rev counter.

Image

The linkage done, we can now start dressing the cylinder head and the shaft covers with their bolts.


Image

A small reflection on the windows.

Image

The dashboard progresses quietly.
The indicators are now installed and embellished with various details that I thought did not detract from the final look...

Image

Image

As far as the rear face is concerned, everything will of course be almost invisible once the bodywork elements are in place.

Finally, the magneto control is modified and placed on the dashboard contrary to what the assembly instructions recommend.

Image

More soon.

Good evening,


The calipers are finished.
I decided to modify them and install beautiful machined aluminum brake bleeders.

Image

Image

The back of the chassis is starting to become a bit more heavy and complicated.
- the two tanks are fixed and strapped for the fuel tank.
- the oil and gasoline lines are connected and chimneyd through the mesh of tubes.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Oils of different tones highlights the connections.
However, I had to transform some elements and modifications already installed…

Good evening,

Unsatisfied with the lack of detail in certain areas, I worked to remedy it.
Nothing being planned, this approach required a lot of work, both in realization and in “study” and tests!!
 
So here are some pictures of the brake system with the ends ready to connect to the calipers.

Image

Image

Image
 
The dashboard is installed blank in order to validate certain points.
The discs are equipped with their calipers.
