Hi, Thanks Duane. Few progress. As usual, radiator is filled.   Better pics than those from yesterday:   Weld lines added. It's a bit rude for now, but with primer and flat black it should be ok. If not... I'll undo it and will make the weld lines with the iron as it was tested initially.   Dampers almost finished. A Koni stucker was added... Just now need a light oil wash.   More soon.

Hi, Primer and paint session .      Front dampers clear coated:  Not that happy with the weld lines I find pretty rude and out of scale... I will decide what to do after "weathering" job on this side exhaust. Pascal |

Consider a putty or silicone. You could roll a strip like you are making noodles. Form it around the diameter. Clear coat it to seal it and then paint?

Or, maybe, fine mono fishing line.

Welds look more plausible. I'm glad your rethinking it.
What is going on with the "oil" painting process? Are you washing these parts down with something? It no doubt looks outstanding and every piece on it appears to be metal. The shading process? I would like to hear more about it.
Like how you do it ;-)

Hi, Thanks  This is the other solution regarding the exhaust weld lines. I made a real flat weld line with low temp solder. It was then masked with liquid mask and treated with burnishing product.    A mask a bit larger was then done before shooting primer and mat black  I think I will add few accessories:  Pascal 8) |

Another great update, Pascal. I like the two part helmet. I have never seen one like that before but that is a great way to do it for the modeler to paint.

Hi, Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated! Not that happy with the former result: Plouf! gone to swim in the cellulose thinner. New black layer sprayed  ZP Black on the gloves too:  ... and Pure White on the helmet:   Maskol off, ZP Translucent blue and W&N Ivory black wash down on the weld lines area:   Not decided yet... Couldn't resist to compare the DFV with the 500 F2 engine! Should have done the same with the Tipo 218 V12 of the312F1...     Pascal |

Hi, Thanks Started to work on the instrument panel and tachometer/tacho connection. Angle gear is made of 2 parts of brass connectors, filed down and soldered. Not the best, but not too bad due to the fact that the part diameter is 0.7. The genuine hole in the tachometer is drilled with 0.5 bit, then filled with 0.5 lead wire.       Pascal |

Hi, Small progress on the dash board. Stainless steel pop rivets cut and installed.  A little square bracket is fastened to the right side in order to hold the accelerator cable.   C'est tout. Pascal |

Hi, Thank you very much Mates! Still progressing on the Roooaaaarrring Papaya. Dashboard is finished and instruments are installed:    Accelerator OK:  I've tried to do the stitching by myself instead of applying decals:  In the cockpit. A light weathering is started on the seat:     Dry fitting:     Voilà. Pascal |

We see some really "over the top" builds here, but this thing is in orbit.
