JV Ferrari 126C2 - San Marino MFH 1:12
Sharing the progress on my 126C2.
I don't have any fancy tools so basically cleaning will be done manually and progress will be very slow.
Monocoque is just filed and still needs fine sanding, it will be detailed until more parts are ready, just to avoid damage during fitting and finishing.

Hi Jerryv...
Welcome to f1m.com
As said, " great start " ...
Before then, there was only manual cleaning and boy are my fingers relieved I got the MC. You're not racing anyone Jerry so take your time

I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting, even when there's only a slightest chance.

Hi Jerry,
Welcome to F1M, and what a great build to start with. As "Tiffoc" says it's not a race, so sit back and enjoy.
I know I will

Hi Jerry,
Nice to see you started a wip. You have made great progress already and your parts look fantastic. I didn't bother painting the brake and clutch reservoirs since they looked great out of the box. However what you have done is great and added another level of detail. What color did you use to simulate the brake fluid? Also do you plan to add the vent tubes to the reservoir caps? If so what elbow and T-connections are you going to use since the kit doesn't include any.

Thanks All for the warm welcoming and nice words.
Hi Turbo,
Yes, I finally started a WIP. I got motivated by your great building on this kit so here I am...
The reservoirs look great out of the box so no need to paint them but I gave it a try and liked the results. I used yellow clear, then 3 coats of very thin flat white. The cap is plain flat white to contrast.
As for the vents, I do plan to add them using some metal rings and chrome plastic spokes from a bike wheel. This is very simple to make but took me lots of time to figure out what to do. As you said, these are not included neither considered in the manual. I will post a pic once they are finished. I still don't know where to route the end of the vents hose, do they go to a vent tank or routed somewhere inside the cockpit?
For metal finishes, I plan to use a combination of grades of sanding and clears to get different metal looks. I am afraid unprotected metal will eventually oxidize so no plan for bare metal. On the other side, I don't want to paint metal to look like metal, so my approach will be sanding and clears for look and protection. I am not an expert at all but did some tests and liked the results.
Thanks for the recommendation on the cleaner Tiffoc. I will definitely consider one if I build another of these kits. I am still enjoying the build but now I know these are quite challenging kits as many parts are rough and crude. My fingers and tendons have been screaming a few times already but I'm finally finding my way to make the work easier.Tiffoc wrote: Hi Jerryv...
