    Now if memory serves me well - the chassis that the transporter sits upon is Gramps handiwork- based upon a 24th sc fire engine kit …. Now who is going to volunteer to do set is white markings- for the Cobra or Scarab team ? Apply herein ….

    Now for the “casting call”. Hopefully have some resin castings later in the spring …. Meantime, let’s see …

    The alternator is based on the Reps and Mins GTO casting - Shortened a bit and garnished with some straps and things - the straps are made from some squashed tin wire - rolled around short lengths of .015 Plastic rod ..

    I think I mentioned this - the UMI Barchetta kit had a bag of white metal castings done by Herb Deeks - the exhausts were cleaned up and shaped for casting - this will be tricky - the rubber mold casting may effect the shape - but it’s worth a shot …

    Fuel pump. Styrene rod and some Evergreen and some .015 RB Motion bolts. And some Master Club resin bolts…. Will be attached to the nose of the left hand Cyl head …

    Sure looks good on my I phon.

    Cool if I follow - you poured resin into the bowls and machined the castings - right ??

    The early Colombo 12s mostly used mounts at the back of the cyl head - that’s what these two holes are for …

    Just about done - but I’ll machine an aluminum ring that the plug wires will feed into …. That will be a challenge - as it will require cleaning up the other side of my workshop - huge challenge …

    Working on the second magneto - the white parts are replacements/changes to the Reps and Mins GTO engine casting - and I cut the second one apart - because the magnetos are on offset posts - so there’s a right and left hand magneto - hard to explain …

    Love those antlers …

    Thanks Bugatti fan [me too]. hope my post wasn’t confusing - I’m eyeballing the Barchetta pix on the MFH site - I am not building one - although you could twist my arm ..

    I’ve got a small bunch of Pinto’s kits - I’m a fan too - and I appreciate his willingness to produce in 24th scale - I may have the ideal kit at the bottom of my stash - will check - the 12th scale MFH Barchetta is about done - boy they’re fast - and they did their homework this time - everything looks great - and if you’ve got bout 900 burning a hole in your pocket - add “to your cart” and hit purchase - if not - their build photos have a lot of very helpful info for our smaller scale builds …

    Whoa post of the month …
  25. absmiami
    Great shot - but no driving gloves ? FPP - Fernando Pinto - makes what appears to be a very nice 24th sc Barchetta - the older kits mentioned on this list are next to impossible to find- even the 24th sc MFH kit …
