Pascal, Your detailing/scratch building just never ceases to amaze me. When I saw that close up of the Bungee cord holding the over flow can, I really had to look hard to figure out that this is your build and not the real car. Never seen anyone attempt a Bungee cord before, but yours is dead on.
Your paint as usual is perfect, but I have a question for you. You're using Gravity 2K for the gloss coat, but why 3 different air brushes which I assume have 3 different needle/cone sizes.

Hello, Thank you very much Joel! The Tamiya Gun was here because I used it just before for some parts. I used the 2 Flat Pattern airbrushes for the clear coat: The 0.3 (white one) to apply the clear coat inside the mouth in order to avoid thickness. The 0.5 (Iwata) for clear coating the external side of the parts. The clear coat is now dry. In order to be consistent with the Grand Prix period, I: - added mat base, - slightly "over-diluted", - sprayed in 2 very fine passes (one veil, one wet), - "scratched" very slightly with 12000. A veeery light film of Carnauba is wiped with a soft cloth. It vibrates less! The wheels are therefore balanced, with a lead wire as at the time, equipped with their inflation valve. Pascal

Good evening, I decided to modify the headrest/backrest fixing system. I first fixed the steel plate with adhesive film behind the « leather » part without integrating the rivets. I then installed flush magnets in the pre-drilled rear tip. This makes it very easy to remove the part to see what is happening under the hull. Side tanks are riveted, fitted with filler caps and modified to install vents. They are then mounted and strapped to the chassis, connected to the fuel circuit. The vents are attached to the frame tubes and connected to the rear center tank filler neck. The exhausts are definitively fixed and the bodywork parts fitted for a small test. The mobile oil and fuel hatches are in place. Pascal

Good evening, A bit of gasoline and oil. It's time to apply the decals. The numbers are in one piece and therefore there is backing film… which I hate. It must therefore be removed, which makes the numbers very flexible and requires installation templates. A busy day: Rivets of the rear, installation of stacks/tubes, adjustment of the bodywork, shaping/installation of the gear lever, seat, steering wheel… fitting of the logo on the nose… In short, it smells like the stable ! The model is very dirty, I will clean it tomorrow, to… get it a little dirty again. Maybe I would have time to make a small accessory, but the priority is to create its storage/transport box. Next soon. Pascal

Good evening, Thank you all for your feedback and patience with this WIP. As I didn't know what to do (…) and I didn't find the hood fitted well enough, I took it back, with care(!), but that's it, it's good. The last rivets are placed, the traces of exhaust made… I hesitate to dirty it a little. Here are some pictures, I will definitely do more. His future home and, incidentally, transport box is complete. I don't really have a dedicated presentation base at the moment. The Dino will be presented on…a A330 porthole. An accessory to possibly accompany it is under study, barely started. The next one will be… Red! Again on the 12th. Most certainly another Dino who also only left the places of honor to the other competitors. But I'm not immune to getting into a 12-cylinder, or even a sport prototype... Pascal

Thanks, Pascal! Certainly is a beauty!
Can you please talk me through the paint and polish aspects of your build such as paint used, airbrush settings, an polish out process. To tell you the truth, this scares me to death as the 156 is my first MFH build and it is all red (of course) and I have put so much into it, I would hate to ruin the paint job. I have used rattle cans of Tamiya Italian Red in the past with good results but I know there are better ways to do this.
I would appreciate any tips and tech offered.

Good evening, Thank you very much gentlemen! I use Gravity Colors (Europe!): primer, color and clear coat. All is sprayed with 0.3 & 0.5 flat pattern airbrushes at 2 bars. I do not polish my kits. I just used 12000 to « scratch » the clear coat and attenuate the gloss then put a bit of Mr Treatment (carnauba). I hope it helps Patrick The frame of the Dino is provided with pieces of tubes intended to accommodate a quick riser. So...I made one. I started from a vintage photo. The brass wheels are turned, the tubes, of the same material, are folded and welded. I made small copper washers as side stops for the wheels. It only remains to paint it in the same gray as the chassis. Here are some pictures. The nuts are locked! 🥳 Pascal

pascal, I just caught up from my last post, and as usual I just blown away at the level of detail, and the expertise level of your modeling. There's not much more I can say or add to what I've said through your journey to the finish line. Simply outstanding in every single aspect of modeling.
what I will add is that even your decaling methods to assure that the individual numbers aligned perfectly is something I usually just guess at. So call me lazy.
As for your painting, I've never seen any better. I also use the Gravity system but I still use Tamiya LP Gloss as the 2 part Urethane system still scares me health wise, as my health isn't exactly 1st class any longer. Even your custom jack stand is amazing for what it is.
Looking forward to your next build in Red. And sports cars are an excellent choice.

Good evening,
Thank you very much for your kind comments Joel! I’m glad you enjoyed this build and liked the Dino!
I also want to thank all of you for your support all along the WIP.
It’s now time for the next one; another Monza Winner Prancing Horse!…
