Hi at all....

More than 2 years ago i started with this project, now its time to finish it.

The basic kit comes from Model Factory Hiro in scale 1/24, but arround 30% of the model i have to scratch build, because i want it more detailed.

This was how the status was at this time.

Then there was a problem with the clear coat, after 4 weeks it was still not dry.
So i have to start all the body parts from new. With that i have also to order another decal sheet from Model Factory Hiro.

Back to now......

I dont start this from beginning, just how i continue after the mistake with the clear coat.

Ok, i took a look at the pedals from the kit and i know we will never get friends, so i decide to make them scratch, just the foot plates are left from the kit parts.

For the wheels i ad some valves from Aber.

Fit check with the new pedals.

To connect the fuel lines i changed the fuel distributer with some metal tube from Lion Roar.

For the connectors under the air trupets i use also the metal tube and some Evergreen rod.

Looks more and more like a race car.

Very nice work. I also have this kit. I wish Hiro would make more 1/24th F1 kits!! Other than the white metal being not very smooth it is pretty good. Love what you have done with it.

Hi everyone. After a big break from my side this one will continue.
The model is already finish, but i will still continue where it end last time.

After fix all the fuel lines and ignition wire it was time to make some suspension rod's.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/3637363935323536.jpg

Also cockpit and engine are married now.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/6366363861623439.jpg

I added some rearwingholder parts, Airintakes for the rear brakes and the drive shafts.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/3531393065376165.jpg

next was to make the threaded rods.
my idea was to take screws and make them from it. Simple and low price.
the only thing i used was my proxxon some metal drillers and a file.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/6333623234353132.jpg

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/3130633539653034.jpg

To make them looks more real i use some black washing.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/3637343235633430.jpg

And finaly mounted to the rear and front.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/3466646634323831.jpg

as you can see all the suspension linkage is mounted.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/6561353563333264.jpg

For the brake discs i used all my weathering technics to let them look as much real as possible.

Next are the wheel hubs. very simpel use some rivets.
Also the cooler pipes are mounted, made by solder, shrink tube and some Studio 27 metal fittings. The pipes from the kit are a joke.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/20/673120/3032383635326237.jpg

Next was the underbody to be mounted and also the rearwing.
The rearwing white metal parts are not painted, instead of paint them i decided to polish them.
Ok, it was a little more time to do this but the result is great.

Roger,
What was the primary adhesive you used for assembly - cyano or epoxy? The fine joins at PE and tubing in particular.
The build is spectacular and I congratulate you.

Thank you guys for the nice comments.
@MerlinPro

What was the primary adhesive you used for assembly - cyano or epoxy?

I use allways Cyano ZAP PT-02 (ZAP-A-GAP, Medium CA+)
Godd for:
-Gap filling formula.
-Bonds Virtually anything.
-Works on oily surfaces.

But i do not use it direct. First i drop some drops on a brass plate and adhesive with a wooden toothpick.
The adhesive can be as outgas long enough. So you dont have any outgas-traces on your model.
I try many adhesives before but nothing works like i want, only this one.

Also i make 1/43 kits with this adhesive. You can find some postes hier from me.

Regards Roger
