Looks good from here! As far as the "C" connectors go, I always run a thin needle file or some folded sandpaper LIGHTLY thru the "jaws" of them to remove the mold lines as well as removing the mold lines from the pin it's going to clip to. The little bit of extra clearance and smoothness makes a huge difference. The clip-together suspensions are always pretty sloppy anyway, this doesn't seem to affect that too much. I like your "stable" of prancing horses, but wouldn't a little color variation look nice, maybe a Tyrrell or Lotus? Brian Oh there's color in my scuderia... an RE20. a Lotus JPS 79, a very badly aged Tyrell P34. an Honda RE F1, and an Alfa Romeo 179. What you are seeing is just my Ferrari set. There are four to go... then I can attack the pile of unbuilts including a new P34, an FW14B, a Ligier JS 11, a Matra, Brabham BT44, Lotus 49, and another Lotus (I think it is a 72D), Two McLaren M23s... a Yardley and a Texaco... so there is some color. There's also a Wolf hiding out there somewhere. |

I'm sure hoping these wrinkles settle out in an hour or so... if not, I'm not sure of the solution.  |

A few other looks as I wind down this build...   |

Hit that roundel with Solvaset and a hair dryer!

I agree with 4wheels. Letting those wrinkles dry isn't something you really want to do.

It may be too late. I may have to sand that portion out and buy another set from Michael. It's my fault entirely. I was taught while back to apply the MicroSol and walk away... guess not!

I do like how this one is turning out. I've never built one of these types of cars before but have wanted to build at least one. May have to incorporate one in my future after seeing stuff like this. She's a beauty. Try to get on that has been shrink wrapped in someone’s closet for 50 years! And first thing is order two sets of decals from IndyCals! Even the little prancing horse logo for the steering wheel fell apart! And once again, the exhaust pipes ate my lunch. Because of the “c” connector issues, my build does not have “poseable” steering and more than does a statue. It is fixed and in place! Thanks for all the compliments. I’m going to redecal today and affix, steering wheel, mirrors and windscreens and check this off the list! Onto the T! Will post final images. I just wish I had a better photo studio! Thanks for the heads up on some of the issues you had. Looking forward to the finishing shots. |
