Ferrari 312B, Clay Regazzoni. 1970 Italian GP, Monza. MFH, 1/12.
Hello,
With the Dino 256F1 now complete, another victorious Ferrari at Monza shows the tip of its nose: The Ferrari 312B.
Bye bye V12 and hello flat 12.
The hull is prepared, which required a little work, then it is drilled in order to be riveted.
The two elements of the under tray are welded, the cockpit walls are assembled blank to validate the assembly in the hull.
The engine is also assembled , as is the gear box. Some modifications are planned on the engine.
Some panels are riveted because they will remain (slightly…) visible.
Then the whole is assembled and welded quite roughly (strong and invisible) on the chassis.
A test validated the positioning of the parts of the bucket, the engine and its upper plate.
The welded frame/bathtub unit fits well into the body.
The front part, in particular the box of the nose gear is being prepared with all its elements.
It is mounted here blank in order to validate the positioning:
- the oblique partition,
- hot air extractor,
- the sharp nose of the beautiful red monster.
These preparation and adjustment phases are long, time-consuming and laborious, but nevertheless necessary.
A lot of drilling, preparation, tests... are carried out on the engine and the accessories.
The injection pump is mounted, the “banjos” oriented in the right direction for the order of injection.
The main elements of the box are assembled.
The pedal box and the master cylinder support await installation in the front box.
Drilling the duct that directs the air from the Naca muzzle intake was no small feat…
The assembly of the elements of the front of the car seem promising.
Let’s take out the masking tape, the “Maskol” for a little masking session.
The parts are then primed.
To finally receive a first coat of Alclad.
The parts are ready for finishing and assembly of the main elements.
I didn't go into too much detail as almost everything is hidden.
Only the mechanical pump that I added will be detailed.
The shading and highlights are mostly done, except on the top of the block for the reason mentioned above.
It remains only to cut the tail of the “Tyraps”.
Same thing for the gearbox.
Maybe I'll make the master clutch control cylinder...
More soon.

I'm really curious about Your new WIP: I have this kit in my stock too and your WIP will serve as an example for me.
I bought this kit together with the MFH 312 B rivet set. But was disappointed abut the rivets, because they seem too big for the bodywork.
Wonder how You will solve that.

I'm staying tuned The welding of the tub looks very good. I need to practice more to get perfect.
Seema

Re: Ferrari 312B, Clay Regazzoni. 1970 Italian GP, Monza. MFH, 1/12.
Good evening,
Thank you guys!
@Ferrarissimus: I will use the 0.8 MFH Alu rivets as already used on the 1/12 1967 312F1.
Sad day for the tifosi, the Scuderia, motorsport enthusiasts.
A great man left us today, Mauro Forghieri joined the other legends of motor racing.
The 312B is now an orphan.
The assembly continues with the intake funnel mesh.
To do this, MFH offers a tool for mesh shaping.
Thanks to which we obtain… NOTHING! Nada! Niente!
So I quickly turned a small tool to achieve the result that suits me.
I didn’t enjoy the provided mesh more than that: the mesh is too wide and the material does not hold the shape as much as it should in my opinion.
So I did some tests with tighter mesh steel and 100 mesh brass too.
The best result is, without a doubt, the one obtained with brass.
For ease of forming and holding, the grid is annealed.
Test on stacks:
I have currently made the set for a cylinder bank.
The shape is much better, a coat of Alclad will give the expected shade.
More very soon.
Pascal

Re: Ferrari 312B, Clay Regazzoni. 1970 Italian GP, Monza. MFH, 1/12.
Good evening,
Well, that's it, we now have 12 intake mesh!
The engine is almost finished, it is necessary to take care of the front.
The parts are prepared and test fitted to make sure that there are no anomalies.
Masks are made and identified: the chassis frame was painted black and the aluminum sheets riveted on it.
Then we weld the front partition for more solidity and a better visual aspect in the continuity/junction of the tubes.
The assembly is again tested in its location to validate a final installation without problem.
The seat, the dashboard, the arch and the support of the rear fins do not seem to be a problem either.
More soon.

I will follow too with interest. I hope MFH are watching and learn that your brass intake mesh is a far better option, it looks so much better.GF-F1 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 1:25 am Hello Pascal,
