Very very nice...
Excellent build Kars...

Kars Jans
Thank you, Steve. I think i made a mistake attaching the deflectors. The drawing was not quite clear how fold the etched parts and how to mount them. Could not find any photos on the web either.

Steve Wilson
From what I can see Kars...
It looks fine to me, nothing stands out as errrmmm!!! different😢

Kars Jans
It's the part on the 2nd photo i had problems with. I was not sure to fold it and combine it with the part on the 3rd photo. But you are right. Nothing stands out. So it can't be that wrong.

The last round was in Japan, and Schumacher took pole again, ahead of Montoya and Ralf. The top 3 kept their places into the first corner, even though Ralf was soon passed by a three-stopping Barrichello. Barrichello was unable to pass Montoya, and this ruined his strategy. Ralf was given a stop-go penalty for cutting the chicane at the last corner too frequently. This left Häkkinen running third in his last race in F1, but he gave the position to teammate Coulthard as a token of gratitude to all the support Coulthard gave him during the previous seasons. Schumacher capped off the season with a victory ahead of Montoya and Coulthard. Häkkinen was fourth in his last ever race, ahead of Barrichello and Ralf.

That was a great year for Ferrari!!!

Kars Jans
Hi Holger, You know your F1 history! My mind is full of holes coming to that! 🙂

Holger Kranich
Ha! Oh no, Kars!😉 My mind is like a net... It just holds what it wants... 🙂 And to get back, what is forgotten, i have Wikipedia!😢😢😢

Dirk Heyer
Hi Kars, your racer looks nice. Would be great if you could add some more pictures of that pretty car!!
I`m a Noop of the discipline "F1 Modelling"
Could you explain the kind of problems you`ve got with the label "Studio27??

Kars Jans
The trouble i had was that the drawings are not always precise on how to manage some things. The front suspension and attaching the wheels/brakes to it was a monster to me. Be careful to do plenty of test fitting. And the attachment of the deflectors was not clear to me. I was unclear on how to bend the etched parts. Maybe my short coming, but... This was my first S27 kit i have ever built. There is a Work In Progress on my website. All content is written in Dutch and English. Maybe i will change my site with a plugin to be able to choose dutch/english/german, but that seems a hell of a job.

Dirk Heyer
Thx for your fast reply!

Kars Jans
You're welcome, Dirk

Steve Wilson
Kars your right...
I dug out my kit of this car, firstly shock, horror, probe! I realized I hadn't included it in my stash!!! Corrected that immediately.
Looking at the instructions, yes, it's not that clear! but I interpret it as you have. I will build mine the same way, indeed when I also checked the one I have built (Austrailian), that's exactly how I did it...

Kars Jans
Thank you, Steve. The Australian one is still on my to do list. Nice to know you have one extra now! 🙂

lau pascal
Excellent!!!!

i wont make car often but yours make me want to make one

Steve Wilson
Hi lau...
You won't regret building a couple of Studio27's...
Once you have, you'll buy an MFH kit😢

Kars Jans
My stash contains both, S27 as well as MFH and also BBR. I have never built a MFH kit, but i must say, the drawings look more promising. The drawings from the BBR kits are better than those of S27, in my opinion. Selling all my S27 kits and buying MFH kits is not an option to me.
