pg265 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi, Thanks! Few progress and improvements. I wanted to rebuild the anti roll bar with brass, but the original is good and almost hidden behind the tank... The grills are installed on the radiator and the simulated inside tubing is still visible. A new Sandow will replace the white metal part.

pg265 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi, Still progression both on the rear and front. Difference between before and after work on white metal parts. The small bucket doesn’t belong to the 312F1...but to a Tipo 500. I wanted to install thin aluminum sheet on the structure.

pg265 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi, Thanks Trak-Tor I finally managed to finish the ignition coils system, after a last modification. Small brass bridges of 0.5 were installed on each side of the water / oil tank to hold the "bungee cord" in place after having stretched it. There was a problem with the length of the radiator supports, I redid them in brass of 0.8 which I brazed with silver solder. It was also time to paint the radiator(s): No more beautiful polished metal appearance and place for brass. ... And decided to represent the welded appearance of brass radiators. Metalcote Alu, oils ... A blank assembly of the various components of the rear axle and the exhausts to confirm that we are going in the right direction It only remains to connect the lines to the master cylinder of the front brakes, this is done for the clutch and the rear. Just have to finalize the assembly of the elements I touched up the varnish and painted the underside of the hull. Voili voilou. More soon.

pg265 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi Thanks a lot Mates. I'm glad you're still enjoying the WIP. I decided to make the fuel cells connection faucet. It's made of white metal and a spare / modified distributor. Working on the dashboard. installed the lower body part is now done and weathered All the body parts are now fully dry. White dust is coming from the varnish dust while reopening the rivet holes. The CAVALLINO is installed on the nose and the original decal is replaced by an "enamelled" badge from an old MFH reference. Fit test of the front area. Starting the riveting process... Ainsi que sur les platines d'ancrage des tirants de suspension: More soon! Pascal mark31, Lothar, Brett M and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 These MFH cars are really something else. If they did a Ferrari Enzo, I'd be really, really tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 How do you put the rivets in? Juraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi, Thank you very much. The rivets are just installed in the holes, then glued and cut when necessary. Decisive assembly if any, the engine is assembled with the chassis. Assy is done with Loctite 401 and reinforced, as usual, with screws, washers and bolts. The inside of the bathtub is done, the seat is finally installed as the side water pipe and the gear selector. The fuel valve is installed. More soon.
