It appears that the brakes on the 1:1 are fairly prominent so work was started today on replicating those. I think I will add the caliper, disc and maybe a brake line. This may be the last detail that is added on this model.

The 1:1 attaches the disc to the wheel with a ring (of some sort). This is replicated with 1/32 balsa.


The disc was cut out of .010 styrene.




Middle part cut out and offered up to the wheel/axle. The disc will rotate with the wheel but don't think that will be a problem. Now to work on the caliper again.
