Coming together nicely Pascal, good job!
Any chance to see a WIP of that 191 in the background?

Good evening,

Thank you very much for your kind comments.
The Jordan is not for now, but I must admit it’s one of my all time favorite F1!
Just dreaming of a 1/12 MFH J191…

A bit of gasoline and oil.



It's time to apply the decals.
The numbers are in one piece and therefore there is backing film… which I hate.
It must therefore be removed, which makes the numbers very flexible and requires installation templates.









A busy day: Rivets of the rear, installation of stacks/tubes, adjustment of the bodywork, shaping/installation of the gear lever, seat, steering wheel… fitting of the logo on the nose… In short, it smells like the stable !













The model is very dirty, I will clean it tomorrow, to… get it a little dirty again.
Maybe I would have time to make a small accessory, but the priority is to create its storage/transport box.

Next soon.

Good evening,

Thank you all for your feedback and patience with this WIP.

As I didn't know what to do (…) and I didn't find the hood fitted well enough, I took it back, with care(!), but that's it, it's good.
The last rivets are placed, the traces of exhaust made… I hesitate to dirty it a little.
Here are some pictures, I will definitely do more.























His future home and, incidentally, transport box is complete.







I don't really have a dedicated presentation base at the moment.
The Dino will be presented on…a A330 porthole.
An accessory to possibly accompany it is under study, barely started.

The next one will be… Red!
Again on the 12th.
Most certainly another Dino who also only left the places of honor to the other competitors.
But I'm not immune to getting into a 12-cylinder, or even a sport prototype...

A damn awesome build Pascal... My banner for the week on CAR AND BIKE MODELLERS FRIENDS (no military) group
on Facebook... I've followed this build from the start, Pascal is a true skilled artiste...

A wonderful model, Pascal. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Good evening,

Thank you very much gentlemen!

The frame of the Dino is provided with pieces of tubes intended to accommodate a quick riser.
So...I made one.
I started from a vintage photo.

The brass wheels are turned, the tubes, of the same material, are folded and welded.
I made small copper washers as side stops for the wheels.
It only remains to paint it in the same gray as the chassis.

Here are some pictures.







The nuts are locked!
