The work is not over, yet : I still need to take care of the driver and the mirrors... And as well, finish the electronics installation (not yet done on this chassis).

1/12 driver is so small... I decided to cheat as I did not want to paint the face... The body is a Hunter driver body scaled 80% and the the helmet is the one I did for the Super Wheelie, scaled smaller than 80%... Not sure how much I scale it down, but it is small.


The driver is in the car now...

As mentioned earlier, I have many plans for this chassis in terms of bodyshell...
And by the way, if you build one chassis for you, and work out a bodyshell adaptation you are putting on makerworld, let me know so I can add a link into the dedicated pancar 1/12 collection

I started to work on the Ferrari 312 bodyshell... This one may be red .
As we are dealing with endurance cars, lights is a must, and some 312 had central additional lights, so I plan for it (not sure if I'll use them or not, but it will be possible).

The rear bodymount is a variation of the one I made for the 333 bodyshell...

I printed those in TPU.




I still need to work out the rear end, as I'm not sully happy with this...


Once the parts under the bodyshell are done, I'll work out what is on top of it...

I spend some time over the week-end to work on this bodyshell... It's not perfect yet and still requires some minor improvements... I finished the part under the bodyshell...


As last time, I printed something to help the arch cut at the rear (on the front it is not needed on this Sabula Tech bodyshell)


And once this was done, I made a mirror and a roll bar...


It still requires a bit of work with some adjustments here and there, but we are getting there...






Soon it will be time to deal with the next bodyshell (teaser : Porsche 917K)

I need to finish the 312 bodyshell, and the weather was perfect for a paintjob...


Yes, it is red... It's not going to be a Ferrari, though... The Yellow on the driver jacket is a a key indication, the other car another one

It's red... but not a Ferrari... It's a Leader, as there is no Vaillante on a track without a Leader






I'll make the files available for the bodyshell accessories very soon on Makerworld... And it will be time to take care of the next one...

One of the guys on the french formu rc-vintage proposed me to do some foam tires. They came in donuts os 10mm thickness to assemble on the rims.



I now have a set of foam tires. they are at an undefined shore higher than the Fantom tires, and I'm eager to try them on the track during Montluçonnaise...

The Montluçonnaise is taking place in one week from now. It's time for the last bit of preparation. The event is on 4 days, and on the road track, there is light in the evening which allows for night running time... Which means that to have it realistic, we need lights on the car...

That was the plan from the beginning.





Lights is a nice way to finish a car
