Motorsport in Scale
Canada
Registrace 14. 01. 2020
My channel all about building motorsport in scale - anything from two to four wheels, and maybe even wings!
My name is Earl and I am a scale modeller from western Canada, I enjoy building, detailing, finishing and documenting my projects for you to enjoy as well.
My channel is about all the things we, motorsport modellers, enjoy. I make detailed vlog-style videos from my builds where I explain and demonstrate how to use techniques ranging from basic to advanced. Detailing? Painting? Decals? Clear coating? Carbon fiber? Oil lines? Washes? Oil paints? Chipping? Well, I've got just the thing.
If you want to learn some new techniques and maybe get inspired for your own projects, you've come to the right place as I add new videos weekly!

Looking awesome, Earl! Love the wiring!
Hey Earl, the engine looks fantastic. Thanks for all the tips about using and thinning metallics. Where do you get the cool lids for the thinner bottles?
Good pro tip on the gold Mylar!
Looks good enjoy the video
Thank you 😋
Great so far. I’m looking forward to seeing how the chain goes together.
Thanks 👍
Awesome, Earl. Good stuff.
Thank you kindly!
Where can I buy the grade up kit now?!
No idea!
Coming along very nicely. Metal looks tough to work with to me. Appreciate the rotary tool overview you snuck in there, too. Congratulations on hitting 1,000 subscribers too, well earned!
Thanks 👍, much appreciated!
What polishing sponges are you using? Thanks
just ones I found on Amazon, nothing special.
Looking forward to this build, loved the 917 build, currently working on the Martini 917 LH. For the silver paint, check out Tamiya LP-48 Sparkling Silver, has some good amount of flake and scale appropriate.
The real bike is metal flake, LP-48 is not course enough, already tested. Picked up some GX208 to test, as well as have some Zero medium metal flake coming to test, stay tuned!
Thanks for the video. It's an excellent input! I only have one MFH kit, it's a 1/20 1975 Ferrari F1. I don't have any plans to build it in the near future, but I appreciate that you made this video.
Go for it!
@@motorsportinscale2291 thank you for your encouragement.
Already know this is going to be awesome :)
It's a great looking kit, my first MFH bike!
Your work is beautiful! Really enjoy watching your builds
Thank you so much!
Impeccable is the only word I can think to describe this
Thank you!
Congratulations on a stunning build. Thoroughly enjoyed following you progress and looking forward to your next project.
Thank you very much!
Achieving that work of art with what was in the box is Da Vinci level genius. You are a craftsman of serious note!
Thank you!
@@motorsportinscale2291 Pleasure!
Awesome job! Congratulation.
Thank you!
Once again great work ! The red for this model is fantastic !!!
Thanks a lot!
This may be a dumb comment but I was wondering about the time spent on flattening the decals. I THINK that on race cars of this era the numbers would have been painted on by hand. If so, there would probably have been some kind of a "step" between the bodywork and the numbers. Your models are beautiful, but these cars were essentially tools built for a purpose. I guess what I'm saying is, are your models pritier than the originals? In any case your models are amazing and each post is an education
You are correct in thinking the real car would have painted #'s and there would be a step. There is a few reasons for removing this step on the decals 1. the step with decals is from the clear carrier film, so does not align with the makings. 2. the step with the decals is much greater than the step from paint (not scale correct). Ideally, I would have made stencils and painted the #'s, but this was not in the scope of work for this project. I try and create as representative of a finish as possible, and go by references if available. In this case, I did find one color photo of the car in period showing it to be quite polished and shinny!
Thank you for that
That shine is exceptional, that was a lucky "mistake" on your part!!
Thanks, I was originally going for a less shinny finish, but found a reference showing it was quite shinny IRL, that's why I switched from 85% to 90% gloss content.
@@motorsportinscale2291 Good decision!
How's the GX compare to 2K? Other than its probably much safer..
I do not use 2K and never will, so cannot compare directly. From what I have seen on the tables, both can be done to look great, also both can look like shit if done incorrectly in their own way.
@@motorsportinscale2291 Curios why you would never use 2k? I've been trying to decide. And I as wondering what airbrush are you running for your coats? Im a bit new to all the clear coat stuff.
Two fold, race cars do not have show car paint and the health risks are real and something I do not want to deal with.
I appreciate your high quality content and your knowledge. Nice build.
I appreciate that!
Fantastic update again! Love seeing the progress! Have a super weekend ahead
Thanks, you too!
Hello, may I ask what kind of tin material is this that has such good fluidity? I tried soldering, but when it melts it just turns into tin beads and doesn't flow to the metal surface.
Have a look at my soldering video, it has all the details in it. You should find it useful!
Superb. I noticed you don't seem to prime white metal. Is that correct.
I use Tamiya metal primer on all the white metal, it is clear so hard to tell.
Learning lots. Thanks for your efforts.
My pleasure!
What's the pink primer?
Mr. Finishing surfacer 1500 pink.
@@motorsportinscale2291 didn't know they had a pink. More stuff to buy.....
That is an amazing wheel set by MFH! I'm a car model builder too but that is some very technical building ! Can't wait to see the complete car!
They go together fairly easily, well designed for sure.
I just bought this and looking over the instructions. I noticed there are no brake lines for the front and rear. I'm i missing something that i am not seeing in the instructions.
Your not missing anything, they are not included or indicated. Up to you to figure them out!
Just some fun facts...the iconic Gulf livery Porsche 917 never won Le Mans except In the Steve McQueen film Le Mans. Helmut Marko of Red Bull fame won Le Mans in a Porsche 917. The CanAm 917 had over 1500 BHP in qualifying trim. A lot of drivers called the Porsche 917 "A Widowmaker"
Fun fact, this is the car Marko won in...A few of those 'facts' may be more legend or myth...
Great video! Thanks for shedding some light on how the spoked wheels are built! Always a pleasure when you post a new vid!
Glad you like them!
Another great video thanks for sharing! I've been curios about the process with these kinds of wheels. You mentioned you use a lathe aswell, may I ask which one you use? I notice your rpm is high on the drill, the flash point of white metal is so low, friction is probably melting the metal and marring the bit. I machine aluminum often and if it gets hot does the exact same things ruins the endmill. I wonder if some kinda tapping fluid would help. Lower RPM and possibly a carbide bit.
Thanks. The RPM is fine, the drill I was using was not very sharp so may have been a bit of cold welding going on, but mostly the issue with white metal is the chips do not clear and pack up in the flutes.
Everytime I watch your video I buy another tool!😂
Haha, sorry! What tool did you see to buy?
@@motorsportinscale2291the needle holder!
All I’ve done is Tamiya F1 1/12, but this Meng looks way better than Tamiya. It’s got so many more parts, and the booklet is awesome! Not sure why you keep saying it’s a decent looking kit. Unless your in competition those small details you mentioned aren’t that big a deal just my honest opinion… great video!! Great insight and thx for the tips on the decals….
Fair enough!
Would also love to see a full formal build!!
Just uploaded the next episode! Check it out!
Very nice work, especially on the fuel tank ! . I don't understand why you don't have more views on your videos and subscribers given the very high quality of execution of your models, and in particular those of the MFH brand. It's a mystery ? I only subscribe to 4 channels on the models and yours is one of them. 😉
Thank you, much appreciated!
Thanks for the answer.i habe the right place found today in a Video from gunnar racing-usa restauration of a 917.
I think that is where I saw it as well!
This is looking quite incredible. The detail on these kits is incredible, and your skills highlight it even more.
Thanks!
Hallo, Earl Iam Thomas from Germany. I build acually this Porsche 917.I have a question.In see in the rear view in the near of the gear box a yellow clear tube.Can you me say ,where these part start and finished. Thanks for all the nice videos in our channel. .
I added it as a breather for the trans., it might not be accurate.
Gday MiS, I'm wanting to try soldering soon.....can you recommend an iron and flux for the white metal kits ? I'm using your YT clips as tutorials,..hope you don't mind .. Cheers, Steve
I did a video on soldering that might help. czcams.com/video/bD9DpnlKEF8/video.html
@@motorsportinscale2291 Thanks Mate.....I'll have a squiz, Cheers!
Everything is perfectly successful except the installation of the seat fabric which at 1/12th does not represent reality finely enough. This result is not very satisfactory and I think you have certainly noticed it too. 🤨
Each to their own I guess, I think the material is fine.
@@motorsportinscale2291 The material is probably good but maybe a little thick!🤔
Derick in the background!, I love it!
I believe Tamiya was developing this after the Williams, but it got too expensive and never released. This sure looks like a Tamiya kit doesn't it, even the packaging.
First time I have heard that rumor.
I'm just know that brand today, heard that it's from macau!! Then i would guess that their production and the mold may be located in china in fact. Anyway their classical series 70's car model are my favourite!!
your great patience and precision, congrats but, you now, the first Maserati StreamLinear was 4CL, 1939
I don't think I was implying that this was the only SL they ever made. I believe I was commenting that for 1955 it was only used at Monza.
Thank you very much for the review! I'm a bit disappointed by this kit (the detail up set is really good though). The price-quality ratio is quite unbalanced - too expensive for quite poor stuff.
Fair enough!
Hi, actually it's also not convincing to me..... I found it very toy-like but I think that with the detail set you can improve a lot the final result. I live in Italy and the problem is that I cannot find this kit detail !!! Do you know where I can buy now? Thank you very much
Hi, could you please confirm the type of jig you are using for the 1/9 scale moto at the end of the video? I ahve a few jigs, and use 123 blocks, but am always looking for new methods and tools. Thanks for the great videos. And yes, courage is key.
I think it's called the Motojig, I got it on EBay.
@@motorsportinscale2291 Thanks, I saw this jig and it's marketed as for 1/12, but looks like it can be used for 1/9 as well. Fantastic content, and model skills. I have way too many MFH kits for this lifetime, but I'm working my way very slowly through them.
What an awesome work! Thank you for revealing MFH 1/12. Guess, I'm a real fan of them now. And yours too :)
Thank you very much!
Very nice work. What air brush and compressor do you use.
I mainly use GSI Proconboy airbrushes, I have a variety of them ranging from 0.5mm to 0.18mm depending on the task and part. I have two compressors, one is a linear low pressure tank-less (GSI) and the other is the generic Amazon one with a tank when more pressure and volume is needed.
It's an excellent idea to have welded the floor to the chassis. 👍😉
Thanks 👍
👍👍👍
Glad you liked it!
