Good evening,


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.

Image

A small bath in Blacken'it to burnish the exhaust tubes and a bath in water to stop the reaction.

Image

Then suick wipe with a soft cloth to shine a little

Image

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.

Image

Image

Image

Image

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

Image

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

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

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

More soon.

I'm excited how you will fix the frame and tank parts. I soldered these parts, because CA glue is not strong enough to withstand necessary adjustments.
Photos show really perfect results. Congratulation.
regards ferrarissimus.

Good morning all,

Thank you very much! ;)

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.

Image

Image

Image

Image

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.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

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.

Image

Image

Image

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

Image

Image

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

Image

Image

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

Image

Next very soon.

Good evening,


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.

For fun, the caps are movable.

Good evening,


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.

Image

Image

The blank assembly of the tanks seems to validate the operation.

Image

Image

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! ;)

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

Image

Image

Image

I took advantage of fixing the tie rods of the engine mount to weld all the elements of the radiators (water & oil).

Image

I also, as usual, turned spacers to support the weight of the model.
They are tapped at 1.4 to receive the fixing screws.

Good evening,

Thank you very much gentlemen!

Let’s go!
The primer is applied.

Image

Image

Image

The tanks receive a coat of Giallo Modena

Image

…Then, Rosso Corsa

Image

Image

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

Image

Image

Image

Because I was inverted…
