Good thing is a nose cone is smooth with no corners or protrusions so easy to strip with Mr colour levelling thinners.

Not the best weekend 😀 I sprayed the nose cone and dropped it on the carpet so now i have a hairy nose cone. I got the Unobtainium exhaust but broke it trying to get it of its print suports I have decided to fix the nose cone in position as what's behind it is not really relevant to the...

Yea this guy lives in Suffolk near a mate of mine. he deals in war time vehicles for movies and private collectors, its a big market here. This is my local show actually on today about 5 miles away but unfortunately my mobility these days doesnt stretch to fields and rough ground. It started...

I am having the same issues with painting parts before final assembly, joins are always going to be a problem, not sure their is much you can do about it. Interesting scheme and it looks like its going to work really well :)

Dam Italians got in on the act there :-)

No frame Bob all the bits attach to what you see ie: the 8 body panels . thats why i say dry build first and get the body correct

The body of this car is pretty straight forward here, its just 8 pieces. What isn't straight forward is getting them to fit 😄 I jest they are not that bad but as always, dry build with some tape. You will need to spray the inside cockpit semi gloss black before assembly The under side is...

Happy July 4th everyone . Don't feel bad, we over here still celebrate our world cup soccer win in 1966 🤣 They say that relations between the US and UK have never been worse since 1776 but the reality is it relations between a hundred or so on each side in power, the rest of us still love you :)

Thats the chuck i have :) its 3/16" and fits the Arrowmax :)

Its mid 80s here so a lot better but its turning much hotter next week. thing about the UK it varies a lot even 20 miles away. Last week when i went down the coast it was 97f at home and 70f 30 miles away.

OK see how you go but the dspiae drills i looked at with the tight twist flutes are circuit board drills like those sets with the coloured rings the Chinese are pushing out by their billion and they wont last on plastic and wont even start to work on metal, they are a brittle as a stick of...

I think i have sorted the posts bob, shame the poster cant delete them.

Shows bolt head through shock on front of bracket

Some really good points thanks. two things i have learned with F1 is there are no two cars the same and like modern aircraft restorations, modern F1 car restorations are not a lot of help. The advantage for me is it would be very hared for anyone to pull me up on basic detail like wheel colour...

As an observer looking in i would say why 1/8" shafts ? presumably they want you to buy their drills and 1/8" allows for a 3mm drill but realistically you are not going to drill a 3mm hole with a pin chuck. they supply drills down to 0.3mm but these are very tight twist drills ( more twist per...

Truth is dont care because .......................................I'm a lumberjack

If i use a bolt to hold the shock then the suspension arm will foul the head. The reason being the entire bracket is the wrong shape , its on the right lines and will look ok but its a representation rather than an accurate part. This opens a can or worms because if i alter one part i will have...

I think the problem i need to solve is there is a lot of chrome type struts on the suspension. The kit has a Chrome fret but its not great and of course you have you problem of the attachment points to the fret and damage to the finish. There are also problems like this you can see the...

Hot on the heels of my MS11 1968 F1car from MFH comes this. Could there be a bigger contrast in a similar subject? While the method of construction, the detail and the materials differ widely , I wonder if they can compete , side by side on display with 60 years between launch dates? So this is...

Ha :) it cant be as bad as i remember, i looked in the box and there is only about 20 parts 🤣 it could be one of my 5 day specials.
