Re: 1965 Ferrari 206P Dino - Forgotten Prototipo

Thanks, appreciate the comments. I’m definitely rusty, and not able to do certain things with my klutz hand, but it’s definitely better than not building at all.

Re: 1965 Ferrari 206P Dino - Forgotten Prototipo

A small update on things I was able to finish so far.

Dash was slightly wrong shape, but hte thing that bothered me the most was the fact that instrument binnacles were flat, while real car has gauges sort of embedded into the dash. Had to drill the gauge pods out. Now, the PE gauges do not fit in, but I will think of something later.





Wheels were painted with aluminum metalizer, assembled, put on axles. Have not black-washed yet. Possibly will still add balance weights and stem valves. Overall, happy with how these turned out even though they are not exactly correct.





With lots of cursing, I glued in the windows. The problem with PE framed windows, is that you don't even get a chance to make sure they fit just right, simply because they always flex, and even thought it seems they fit fine, they never do. Turned out ok, not perfect, but I'm not redoing it.











Also glued in headlights, the size is just right, and looks much better than flat PE ones.



Also attached the front plexiglass cowl. The cowl itself is of poor quality, not 100% transparent and slightly cloudy. But the only way to fix this is to make a buck and vacuuform a new one, and I wasn't about to start this adventure.





Interior tub was painted, along with the chairs and the dash. Detail as such is completely absent here, and none provided in the kit, so I had to improvise. Shifter was made from bobby pin, shifter gate was stolen from some other kit and modified to fit. There is a reverse lock on the gate in real life, but it was too small to replicate correctly.





Steering wheel is given as a PE part with two halves of the rim made in plastic. The problem is, in a typical manner for Italian kit makers of the end of last century, the rim is quite a bit larger than the spokes part. Umm...how?



So, I had to fashion the rim out of thin wire. Also made new door pockets from tiny pieces of leather. Sourced pedals from the spares box. Next I need to make window cranks, door handles, floor mats, and detail the dash.

So this is where I'm at the moment.

Re: 1965 Ferrari 206P Dino - Forgotten Prototipo

Hey George, good to see you around. I'm not 100%, but it doesn't matter. I'm building and that's what matters the most. Having a blast.

On a different note, was in Greece couple of weeks ago, my first time, beautiful place. Thought about you when I saw a sign to Thessaloniki on the highway.

Hope all is good. Sorry about the fires in Athens.

Where you go in my country, Alex? Holidays or job?
Next time you come, inform me to make a meet.
The fires are catastrophic. Prays for the victims.

I did spend few days in Athens, but mostly the islands, went to Santorini and Mykonos. Family vacation, wanted to show the ruins and palaces to my kiddo, he has been into Greek mythology for quite some time.

I enjoyed it tremendously. Great beer. Amazing food. Excellent people. Wonderful sights. And the sea....

Re: 1965 Ferrari 206P Dino - Forgotten Prototipo

Alex, thank you for a brilliant update. This build is really taking shape despite the issues you are having.

What is great for us less endowed builders is seeing how you over come these issues.

Keep the updates coming please.

Philip

Re: 1965 Ferrari 206P Dino - Forgotten Prototipo

Love the build!

I feel your pain on the PE window surrounds. Maybe in future, use the PE parts as a template to cut out BMF strips instead?

Looks really good!
