tomaszhajzler Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hi everybody! Next part of my fight with the engine bay. Today i'd like to describe one of the most difficult problem in this area - carburator's air intakes. There are four intakes, two on each side, upper and lower. Upper intakes are forked and have slope to the front. I had to keep correct angles of all construction and have ability to locate it inside the framework. I joined both upper intakes with vertical main tube first. I made use of drawings in corell. I glued mesh to the ends of intakes and next i put thin rings on them. I often use ca glue as a putty. I made the same in this case. Next I had to situated this part inside and to join with framework. Intakes were fastened by clamping rings. Correct angel of gradient was very important because intakes had to be perpendicular to the upper bares of framework. This is not the end of difficulties but end of borring. See you next post. Nice watching. Tomasz Uilleann, sandokan and Rdrunner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleann Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Tomasz, what are you using to create your straps on the Intake tubing? Looks like very thin styrene cut into strips and either formed and/or glued to the piping and framework? Can you offer more detail? Looks incredible!!

I made straps from thin sheet of styrene (0,1 mm). I glued thin Tamiya cement, place after place. I often use selfadhesive aluminium foil for straps. It's kind of foil applied in ventilation. Thank's a lot for your numerous kind opinion. I'm glad that you appreciate this kind of model making. I will endeavour to intrest you and not boring to much. Regards.

tomaszhajzler Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Greetings! Continuation of my works within engine bay. I made carburator and other parts belong thereto based on photos. I had to touch lower air intakes. They consist of two tubes connected at an angle. There is a smaller tube inside. It was difficult to match intakes to main vertical tube and to carburator. Gunze liquid putty was usefull.
