March 811 Canada 81 1/20 WIP

Hey they look ultra nice with the Revell paint. Is the one in the square receptacles, right?
J

Yes.

Then I'm surely gonna ask someone some favour!

Some progress done last Week End :

- decals are on place : and i have to say taht I made a huge mistake by trying to modify the decals as the reference pics I had were the one from the qualification and the "Moulin Rouge" printing were slightly different

Thanks to James who helped me I am able now to show the right version with th right decals

And I glued the rear parts of the gearbox and the tires...It moves on quite quickly

[Jacques]

Now I am on vacation

So shortly before leaving the house for a couple of days I am going a couple of steps forward with the WIP.

The front wishbones are put on place + front brakes....and I glued the rear parts to the body.


Really easy !

I glue everything with epoxy glue, 2 components which has a very strong bond after 5 minutes...

I "optimised" the radiators : here the moulding is not that great on my kit. No problem ! I glued some metallic grid on them.


Finally front and rear wings are now on place.... I can go on vacation now, and take time to think if I will put Daly behind the steering wheel

[JamesB]

Greeaaat!! OK, maybe I should not say myself but that looks bloody good; I mean the build!
The car has a striking color scheme and black cars use to look great.
Glad the rear train comes on easy. Remember to remove one pin of the front rocker arms. Either side depending on the side of car, so it matches the bodywork holes. OH I forgit to include the usual metal rods (I admit it, they are cut needles) for the steering links.
Hmm... well maybe I'm late on this.
Great build taht's it! I'd say the rear wing pilar should be a bit darker. Love the copper axles...
ED: forgot to add that the PE skirts and the Gurney adds a lot of life to it. Hmmm... this maker should include those things

Er... one more thing: there shpuld be a pair of "AVON" decals on front edge of sidepods... don't know if it was lost, not clear in the instructions... I hope we're on time to fix it!

Oh yes James you're right....I will put them on...they are not lost

Great build man!!! Very nice model, someday I´ll try to convert a Williams FW07 into this model, I think that is possible, if I am wrong, please tell me...
Best regards

Terrific build of a nice car. Reminds me I haven't seen any Rainbow Jeans for a long time.
