Good evening, Thank you very much guys! The decals are applied but still require a little work. I took over and repositioned the steering bar, the steering wheel, the windshield and the mirror are also now in their place. The wheel tightening nuts are masked and burnished. I drilled a 1.2 hole in the back and installed a 1mm neodymium magnet that attracts the nut to the wheel bolt; the wheels can thus be removed for transport. Demain, les sangles et leurs boucles, la grille de protection du radiateur et le haut du bouchon ainsi que la mise en place de l’échappement et du capot termineront le montage du bolide bleu de Molsheim.

Pascal, The cowl decaling looks just like paint. If the Micro Set & Sol wasn't there, I'd had swore that you had expertly painted both the strips and the numbers.

Good evening, Thank you very much Mates! Glad you appreciate the decals job Joel. Not easy, but not that hard Well, the buckles, the straps, the exhaust ... In short, what remained to be done is done! The numbers and letters of the registration have been cut individually for a better rendering without any apparent carrier film. Basically, the Belle de Molsheim is finished. Maybe I'll spray a little dark smoky in some places ... and take more photos tomorrow. Voilà. Pascal

Pascal, As usual, another Museum quality build. And you get these builds done faster then I can build a plastic model kit these days.

I love following your work and seeing the finished products, Pascal. It's a good reality check and reminder of what I'm not!
Seriously, that's just beautiful, great work man!!

Good evening Mates, Thank you very much! Thank you for following the build and for all the kind comments!! The next one(s) are on the bench I will soon post a new WIP of the Beautiful 1971 McLaren M19A... Driven by “The Bear”. I also unbuilt and restart a 1/20 Ferrari 156/85 and repairing a 1/24 1972 Ferrari 312PB... Thanks again! Pascal

Pascal, Wow!! The 1971 McLaren M19A driven by Denny Hulme is going to be a real treat. I totally forgot that his nickname was The Bear as I came to know him only as one half of the Bruce & Denny show from their early Can Am days. When I 1st met him at Bridgehampton, I called him only Mr. Hulme out of proper respect and total awe.
Are the Ferrari 156/85 and the repair of the 312PB down the road, or will all three be done at the same time?
