great job can't wait to see the result. I'll be following this one.

These days I built the carburator..
I saw some pictures on the web and I was inspired to build it. I used a tube of brass, a sheet of plasticard and bits of wire.

I scratched exhaust using plasticard, brass and 2k putty.
It must already be well-finished..

This is looking great. I can't wait to see this one painted.

I love those details you made. Very nice.

I modified the exhaust manifolds lowering them, then covered with wraps simulated with a medical adhesive gauze. I also scratched the speedometer and the license plate support

[Disca92]

waiting for good weather to start painting I built the rear brake lever.
They then started with a paper clip and a few tubes of brass to get an E-link system connected to the piston of the disc brake.

Wow, great skill in making details

[Disca92]

Thanks sportracer!

These days I added some details to the engine and finally I started painting..
First layer of gloss black over every single part of engine, exhaust and gear.
Then I used "metalizers colors" on cylinders and exhaust; engine block, heads and gear has been sprayed with alclad II "polished aluminium".

Waiting for the return of the sun to continue with the painting, I took the opportunity to prepare the frame by adding the last details and sanding any imperfections.
I then added all the welds, simulated by a thin copper wire.
The wire was rolled on a 0.5 mm drill bit, obtaining a spring which was then slightly stretched and then flattened.
The whole has been glued on the engine with a drop of glue and shaped with a toothpick, to look like a hand-made TIG weld.

Those welds look great, thanks for sharing the technique.
