Making Windshields and Windows Clearer
Pierre Rivard replied to Miatatom's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Hi Tom, I use a 1/2 inch flat brush made by Privateer Press model 93090 for all large surfaces like body, glass etc. -

Thanks Gary, some helpful ref pics I had not seen before. Interesting to see the production fuel filler door was left untouched...after I spent all that time filling the one on my model... Evidence or the rear red wheels on every pic (darker on b&w shots). Should I go back and paint my rears ???... the accuracy vs elegance dilemma.

Model Factory Hiro 1963 Ferrari 250 Lusso

Looking really good. A lot of reworks but you have nailed the stance. Bravo! -
You're right Andy, the A arms on this kit are rather simplistic, surprising considering this is a newly tooled kit. Thinking if I should do something about it. Still need to do a battery tray and have yet to figure out the oil filter arrangement on the dry sump setup. On wet sump engines it runs horizontal on the right side.

Found this hollow wrapped wire lace at the jewelry department at Michaels. It is 0.75 mm diameter and matches well to a scale 3/4 inch reinforced hose. I'll be using it for the oil breather hoses. Using cheap 0.6 mm wire for the leads at both end or the runs. The wrapped wire slips right on Stop me if this is to much details...

Distributor and feeding wires to the plugs is a tight fit with the distributor sitting at an angle at the front end and somewhat under the first Weber carb, then wires feed between the coolant run and the head, wrapping over the cover held by a bracket. Location of the bracket is critical to clear the hood. It's tight but doable. Connkur distributor (the best), the rest scratch built.

Yup, same thing happened to me when I put a lot of effort on fixing apparent joints around turbos & ducts only to find out they're not visible in the end. Generally I like race cars from the 60's or earlier in part because the mechanical bits are less "wrapped" by body work -

A beauty Bruce. For sure it will be #12 right? I was at the Canadian GP the previous year when Gilles took his first win. -
Ferrari 333SP

OK Paul, get busy, there's a race going on and we don't want you to get lapped! ? -
Starting work on the engine. First pic is mock up of kit parts to see how everything generally fits and experiment with assembly sequences. The Revell sequence sometimes contradicts with what I'd prefer to do for assembly and painting steps. Second picture is one of the many ref pics I will go by. This one is a continuation lightweight. Again I have questions about how my race car was restored as it does have Weber carbs nut a wet sump oiling system. The Cuningham car has a dry sump, The D types before did and the Lightweight did. So that' s it, I will try to scratch build some of the visible componentry as well as Weber carbs, fuel delivery and a few other details to get the look that I want.

MFH Ferrari 333SP 1/12
Pierre Rivard replied to 2whl's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
I don't know if your red will pop more but anything to see that pink disappear...? -
Not sure yet when I will paint the body but I felt like playing with color formulations this morning. Pic 1 is the actual race car in the pits in 62, thanks to Gramps for providing this rare period color pic of this race car. Pic 2 is the restored car at Goodwood in 2018, not sure about that color. Pic 3 is a production car painted dark opalescent blue.
