Re: Ferrari 312F1, Chris Amon, Monaco 1967. MFH,1/12.

Hi,

Thanks for kind comments!

A last sanding session on the metal body, then:
- Primer,
- Giallo Modena,
- Rosso Corsa.

Also started to spray primer on the first 200 metal rivets.
400 left to do... before GM&RC.
Few of them will be White.

















Voilà.
La suite bientôt!

Pascal

Re: Ferrari 312F1, Chris Amon, Monaco 1967. MFH,1/12.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the kind comments.

Small progress ...

Preparation and installation of the hose and the serflexes on the pipes of the cooling system.
The tightening of the collar is simulated using aluminum foil and a piece of welding wire.

Same preparation for the 2 cooling scoops.
Test and alignment of the 1/2 rear axles and rods of the anti-roll bar.

Hi,

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.

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.

Re: Ferrari 312F1, Chris Amon, Monaco 1967. MFH,1/12.

Hi,

Thank you very much for comments Mates!

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.

Re: Ferrari 312F1, Chris Amon, Monaco 1967. MFH,1/12.

Hi


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!
