In Progress: Jordan 191

[mic329]

Hello all

In year 2005, I am starting to bulid my first Formula 1 racing car which had been stocked in my shelf for year ago, the Jordan 191. The jordan 191 was the first F1 car that Michael Schemacher rided on for the first battle of his F1 carrier. Therefore, I am trying to replica a detail version of this Jordan 191.

Here is the progress picture for the V8 engine:

The original plastic part for the funnels had been upgraded by metal funnels. Besides, the exhaust holes on the braking disc were drilled.




More progress pictures would be coming and any comment is welcome

Happy modelling

Lookin real nice so far

I recently finished my own Jordan 191, they look awesome when complete.

The holes drilled on the brakes are a great effect, well done!

However in future try to fill and sand the join lines between any two halves that are joined together, for example on the picture above where the two halves of the gearbox join (just behind the shocks and springs).

Looking forward to seeing more!

Hello Captain Mark

Thank you for the comment.
Actually this engine is a test-built which I would use it for check and fit the amended parts. Such parts, like the funnels and brake disc, would be put back to the final one. I will upload more pictures about the engine later on.

Mic,

Where did you get the silver funnels from? Or how did you make them?

Any extra information or pictures would be great, as I always find these difficult, and would appreciate your tips.

Hi Mark

The funnels are after-market items by MuseumCollection.



First, I was using a 3mm drill-bit to have all the holes through and then placed back to the engine and continue to drill through the base mount until the funnel could be gone via.



Below is the example after modification.


Hope this help

The brake disc

In order to improve the realism of the brake disc, I have decided to use donated parts from FW24 since the brake calipers in this kit is seperated from the disc.



The calipers would be widen so as to match with the Jordan 191 ones.



Happy modeling

Impressive attention to detail.

[Captain Mark]

Looking good!
What's going to happen to the FW24 brakes though... is the FW24 a scrapped kit that won't be built?

[mic329]

I have got the FW24 kit and it is a good kit too. I hope I could start doing it later.
For the kit I have in my shelf is the deluxe kit which goes with white metal calipers, but of course the original plastic calipers is still inside this kit. Therefore, I used this spare parts for the Jordan 191.

This should be something worth watching. Very impressive so far.
The 191 is a very pretty and clean design, from one of my favourite F1 eras. A pitty Herr Schumacher had to be associated with it.

I've got to build this one myself, so I'll be watching the build with great interest! So far so good!

Thanks for posting it,
Bill

I'll stick my neck out and say that along with Gurney's 67 Weslake-Eagle the 191 is the best looking of all F1 cars. I've done a couple of 43'rds of it from Tameo, but I've alway figured on doing the Tamiya kit one day. This looks like it should be a real nice build, so I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.

[robrex]

That's very nice detail so far. The use of the FW24 brakes is a great idea. I'll look forward the the updates!

I machine my own out of aluminum. If enough people are interested, I might think about selling some. If someone does want a set, PM me and we'll talk about it

BTW, Mic, I'm still waiting for the Perfect Formula Manual from HLJ. I hope I get it soon so I can send you those pics I promised

Your model is looking great. I hope I can achieve that with my own

Regards,
Pedro.
