CDW Posted April 10 Author #31 Posted April 10 After looking over the photos of the 1:1 Ferrari engine bay, I will not go through the effort to install ignition wiring. All that detail will be buried and hidden from view, so in my opinion, it would be a long climb for a short slide. Just one more thing I realized after studying photos of the 1:1 engine; the instructions show parts E6 and E5 installed in the wrong locations. They need to be flipped. See the 1:1 photo and then look at the intsructions. You'll see what I'm talking about. In a way, it really won't matter too much if you get it wrong as it will be buried from view in either event. I only discovered the error as I was looking at 1:1 photos to create ignition wiring.

DocRob Posted April 10 #32 Posted April 10 There is a lot of hot air travelling through the engine compartment via tubes and turbos. I´ve never been a friend of turbo charged engines and their characteristics, but yours look fine to me. They are a nightmare to build, like I found with my Tamiya 1/12 F1 Renault lately. This and the exhausts were the worst parts of the build. It seems you are on a good way with your Ferrari. Thanks for reminding me on pink primer, I will soon test that.

CDW Posted April 12 Author #33 Posted April 12 I have good news and bad news. The bad news; this model is one of the most challenging, difficult assemblies to get together I've ever tried to build. It's enough to make a preacher cuss, as my dear old dad used to say when he was working on our old farm equipment. So, hold tight and be patient when you go to build yours, Gary. The good news; I managed to get one side of the turbocharger assembly in place in a half-decent manner. Not perfect mind you, but decent. Without wasting too many words, I'll try to tell you what you need to expect when you get to this phase of construction. If you look closely at the 1:1 photos of the engine bay I posted in an earlier reply, you'll notice that the breathers and injectors are slightly offset when you compare one side with the other. One side sits slightly forward of the set on the other side. The model replicates that offset. However, the model does not make any allowance for this offset when it comes to the turbocharger piping, which has to meet the breathers. I needed to cut off a mm or two from the air breather box shown in my next progress photos to make the piping match up to the opening in the breather. It's clearly an engineering oversight when the model was developed, but it can be corrected with some "field engineering" as I did here. Additionally, at one point I need three hands to apply a dab of accelerator to a super glue joint on the turbocharger piping while I held it in place so that it wrapped around the chassis bracing and down to the other half of the turbocharger extending from the headers. My granddaughter politely and adeptly provided the third hand to apply the accelerator. mtaylor, DocRob, FriedClams and 11 others 13 1 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

CDW Posted April 14 Author #34 Posted April 14 At this stage of the game, it's time to begin test-fitting major components such as the body to chassis fit with the engine and tranny in place. I don't want to get a surprise with fit issues after it's too far along to make adjustments if necessary. While it's a very tight fit, as it should be, it's a precise fit and one I'm happy with at this time. As you will see, it's going to be a very detail-rich model with all the features of the 1:1 car in clear view. That engine in its mid-ship configuration sees a lot of detail get buried, but the turbochargers and air breathers stand proud. That's one of the reasons I was being so careful trying to get those features lined up properly. There's a lot more detail to add and now is the time for me to figure out whether those details should be installed with the chassis in place, or installed with the chassis separate outside the body. The instruction sequence shows the latter, but I don't trust it. With the tight fit being what it is, I'm concerned some of these details to come might interfere with fitting the chassis to the body...it's that tight getting it into position.

CDW Posted April 14 Author #37 Posted April 14 @gsdpic Something I failed to mention: the instructions show an option to cut open the headlamp covers on the car body as the headlamps on this Ferrari are retractable. However, there are no further instructions to show the parts or part numbers for building out the headlamp buckets once the covers have been cut from the body. This presents no problem for me as I have no intention of building the model with the headlamps in the opened position as I prefer the clean lines of the closed position. There may or may not be parts on the parts trees for building out headlamp buckets, I am not certain. Just a heads-up so you won't get caught unaware.

CDW Posted April 15 Author #38 Posted April 15 The rear suspension and disk brakes are another area where you will want to take your time, be patient, and work the fit to get it right. It's a little fiddly to get all the parts in place at the same time, but that's what you'll need to do to get a good fit at the glue joints. On assemblies like this, I use the Model Master cement shown in the photos as it has a slower setup time, a precise applicator tube and allows superior control of the amount of cement and location of the same. Unfortunately, this particular product is no longer in production, and I am working on my last bottle of it here. In the future, I will go back to my old standby cement, Faller Expert. It can be found on Amazon if you're interested. As an FYI, I painted the disk rotors and hubs with AK Super Chrome, the calipers with Tamiya titanium gold. The control arms, transaxles in satin black with rubber color boots. The shocks are red with black springs. One of the fuel cells became the first casualty of removing the chassis from the tight fit inside the body. I've made a decision to assemble the remainder of the parts with the chassis outside the body as there is so little space to work the parts into position once the chassis is mounted inside the body. The fuel cell has been repaired. 🙂 mtaylor, Haliburton, DocRob and 10 others 13 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

CDW Posted April 16 Author #39 Posted April 16 I'm building out the remainder of the engine compartment. The kit provides most of the detail seen in the photograph but not all. The two dark gray boxes at the rear of the compartment are breathers for the turbochargers. These are included. The aluminum plate notated in the photo is also included, but strangely, the two rounded vertical plates are not included and need to be scratch built. Not a big deal to make a couple but just a note for your future interest if you build the model yourself. Some of the smaller details seen in the photo but are not included in the kit, I'll need to decide whether I will or will not take time to add from scratch. davec, Jack12477, mtaylor and 6 others 7 2 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

I need a new brain.... 4 minutes ago, Old Collingwood said: Craigs fault - he builds things to good - that are to real looking. OC. You guys crack me up and thanks for the kind words. I guess we all are getting closer to “old”. I turned 70 today and don’t need to be reminded I am officially a senior citizen. Heck, even my fishing and hunting licenses are free now. The governor probably knows my eyesight and reflexes aren’t much a threat to wildlife anymore. 😀 mtaylor, DocRob, Jack12477 and 3 others 6 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

Thanks! My cousin who is 95 told me, “getting old is not for the weak” I never had any bad days but now and then have a few sore ones. I’m having too much fun to accept reality at the moment. Or maybe it’s only as real as we believe it is.
