MFH Ferrari126CK

Post by f1fan »

Hello all,
I started this one awhile ago and I'm finally getting it done. This Kit is a good one, but lacks in some areas compared to the real car. So I gathered some reference materials and decided to make it as accurate as possible. There are some challenges ahead of me, but it should be fun. Since I started this awhile ago, some of the picture were taken on my old camera and didn't turn out so good. So they will improve as I go. The picture sequence is going to be some what unorganized too, due to the fact that I didnt plan on doing a WIP. So bear with me. :D
Thanks for looking. :D
Cheers, Jere

Here are some of the rear end components before,after paint and assembly. Like I said I didnt plan on posting a WIP so I didnt take pictures of the rear being painted or in the building proccess. Sorry for that, But as you can see I used RB Motion rod ends, bolts and fittings. The nuts on the sway-bar links are T2M. The color on the gearbox is Alclad gold-titanium. The suspension cantilevers are painted Alclad stainless steel and rubbed to look used. More to come. :D
Cheers, Jere

The 126 range of Ferrari Cars, is one of my favourites, especially the C2...
Will follow your build :wink:

Great Car.
Great Kit.
Great start!!! well done...
Did you mix the gold colour yourself or is it a branded gold colour??? like Humbrol or Tamiya!!!

Just reread your last post, my question is answered, must get these glasses checked :lol:

Hello,
I added a few details to the intakes. I also polished them and painted the hose connections which are molded in the parts. I added some fittings to the radiators for the coolant lines that go to the expantion tank.
The detail on the intercoolers was a little exaggerated to me so I sanded a lot of it off and gave it wash.
That's it for now folks! I'll try to get some more pics up tomorrow.
Cheers, Jere
