BlrwestSiR Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Go Harv! The first time I saw that box art, I thought the open engine hatches looked like big bunny ears. Carl 3

harv Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks to Ryan, there are very obvious omissions to this kit. One of the biggest is ignition wires tube. This is where I an rite now. Still needs to be trimmed some and a hole drilled for the front 2 Leeds. Let me know what you think.....harv 7
Ryan Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Looks the part Harv, I was pondering using plastic tube, but I have some aluminum rod also....so not sure yet! 4
harv Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 I used 3/32 aluminum tubing. I bought a bunch of sizesb quite some time ago. At Hobby Lobby. Next is the mag. Still pondering that...harv 3
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Ha! About time!!! You know I am following. Brilliant! 3
BlrwestSiR Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Looks good there Harv. The extras you're adding make quite the improvement. Carl 2 1
harv Posted January 26, 2020 Author Posted January 26, 2020 Trying a little grime. What do you think ?......harv 9

There are lots of 'fresh' spills on the Aluminum part (sharp contours), but no deposit grime on the whole engine. Looks to me like a relatively new engine with not so careful maintenance.

BlrwestSiR Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Looks good to me Harv. I like Rob's description of it. Carl 4
harv Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 Thanks guys. Rob, there will be more. This is an experiment on armored weathering. I do get what your saying and appreciate it......harv 5
Guest DannyVM Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Wow Harv.......1/16 heavy metal dude........talking about something totally different then airplane modelling. Love your progress my friend, i'm sitting at the front row to watch and learn. In the Brussels Army and aviation museum stands a original Renault FT with his ( i think) original color scheme. I don't have much photo's of it, only three, but i will post them here. Maybe you can use them as reference. Regards Danny
harv Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Mag done and starting on the .6 mm braided wires. Used a sharpie to give them some color. Let .e know what you think.....harv 6

Let .e know what you think.....harv I think it looks top drawer, buddy............ I really like what's going down here...... nice tone down on the aluminum crankcase............it shows 'depth' to my four eyes, keep going.... she will be a stunner... 5 1
harv Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks buddy ! I am happy with it so far, and having fun...harv 5
