Hello everyone~! This is what Miccara has been waiting for: How will I build his model - the Cord Supercharged 812?

I don't have a definite answer but I WILL give it my best effort.

Starting this thread off with the kit. Parts are intact and in good condition.

Upon closer examination I found broken pieces from the bottom part of the car.

(THUD!)

Did someone fainted?

No worries; it's fixed now.

More will be updated. Stay tuned buds~!

You lucky dog. This is one of my wish list kits I've been dying to get my hands on. Looking forward to the build.

Yeah baby! 40 years later! I'm going to take a great deal of satisfaction from this build (even though I'm not building it!). Go Jack, go!

Got the parts Jack. I'm in the middle of an F4 build but will try to fabricate something for you just after Christmas, if that works for you...

That's great news. Take your time with the fabrication Miccara, and good luck on your Phantom build; eager to see it.

My progress so far ...
Posted Image

The engine as I commenced this grand and sacred project - sacred because I WILL take my time building it and will do further research on every detail of the model as I go.

Some of you will notice that I assemble the parts on one frame and detach them on the next. That's because I wanted to make sure that the parts go together neatly and perfectly.

Posted Image

"B67034" ... what's that? :huh:

Nice assembly ...
Posted Image

A combination of course and fine sanding with sticks (#30501 and #30502 respectively) solves the fitting problems nicely.
Posted Image

Even though this part will be concealed in the future it still bothers me when it is hollow.

Cutting some styrene from my stash of scrap, outlined the shape by pencil, cutting it by scissors, then painstakingly trimming the extras off to make it fit into the flushed areas.
Posted Image

More to trim; half a circle for one add-on.
Posted Image

Easy enough ...
Posted Image

... to make it fit and stand without glue.
Posted Image

The result speaks for itself.

To be continued ...

Jack, Jack, Jack my friend.... I forgot all about your part... it's in my desk drawer and I will start it this week and get it to you! lol! I was so happy to finish that friggin' F4, I forgot about it! Although I didn't finish the F4 until pretty much the end of February... about 3 months longer than I estimated.

HOLMES,

It's calling me like you calling me here.

Hang on while I straighten things on my side; my father is currently ill so that takes priority. Will be back on the Cord.

Finally found this thread. Now to bring it back online and finish the Cord.

It was a long hiatus but now with enough research, tools, and resources I can now attempt to finish this model ....

Hey Miccara are you still out there? I sent you a PM regarding that piece I had mailed back to you. Almost done with the engine and getting close to the step where I needed the part back. Lemme know pal!
