Re: Superior Ferrari 250LM
Very impressive. I have not attempted soldering at this scale yet.
I can't wait to see the progress on this model.

Re: Superior Ferrari 250LM
It is actually a lot easier than I feared.
A good 60w ANBES adjustable temp electronics iron with multiple tips and very good acid flux with 20 thou wire silver bearing solder. The nickle body allows great flow for joinery.

Re: Superior Ferrari 250LM
Did you use one temperature solder or a variety of temperatures?
How did you do your heat sinking so that you didn't unsolder existing joints when you were soldering new joints?

Re: Superior Ferrari 250LM
First, remember, the primary frame comes done, primarily resistance soldered. Add-ons here are inner rear fenders , fine photo etched tire holders on top,rear of frame,and a couple small brackets, as well as some joints that were weak and had to be done over.Alex_Kung wrote:Did you use one temperature solder or a variety of temperatures?

The iron I used has several fine point tips and when properly tinned, togeather with a clean joint with plenty of flux, solder flows to the joint almost immediately when set @ about 400 deg, allowing for a clean bond. Zero heat sink required, I think I unsoldered a total of one joint that had to be redone.
Most soldering needed was on the body, doors....inner fenders, bracing, etc.
I’ll try and get some detail images up before we go to paint,
Now have a rolling chassis.
