Progress report

The front section is built, primed in Ultimate white primer then Zeropaints Ferrari red SF70H there is some semi gloss black tp be painted around the bottom edge and there are some masks for these demarcations but you have to cut them out yourself.



The rest of the parts for this section have been cleaned up, primed in either white or gloss black Ultimate primer and then painted in semi gloss black and the ferrari red.







These parts included the seat and steering wheel which i forgot to photo

Decals were applied there were 2 decals for the steering wheel but i decided to hand this has i thought it would look better.









The gearbox was next this was painted in semi gloss black, flat black, Titan gold, titan silver and model air silver.



The undertray was next up painted in semi gloss black and tamiya XF 57 buff then the carbon decals were added.





The rear section was started so far painted in the ferrari red, Zeropaints brilliant white and semi gloss black.
There is still some black to be done on the engine cover and some more carbon decals to go on.





That's all for now thanks for taking a look.

Thanks Kev that means a lot has i'm starting to loose my mojo with this one but i think i will plod on with this.
I have made a few stupid mistakes has i thought i has less time than i thought to finish this so hopefully i can turn it around.

The carbon fibre looks great too
These have a lot of paint call outs at the start, but chip away and then BOOM it’s done

Really like what you did with the steering wheel and gotta luv that carbon fiber

Very nice, and looking forward to your progress

Thanks Brad i did prefer to paint the steering wheel instead of using the decals

[gaz45]

Just a small update
iv'e attached the engine/gearbox to the rear shell







Now when joining the front to the rear they are not glued together has i have done in the past but screwed through the base instead which left a little gap line which i'm sure should not be there has pronounced has it is or it's just me badly fitting parts.









and to finish off the front wing section has all been painted up and decalled and waiting to be fitted



Thanks for looking and for your comments.

Coming together very nicely

[gaz45]

Thanks Kev enjoying the build but it could have been much better on the fit for a Tamiya kit but on the other side it is proably my own doing.

[gaz45]

So here we are the final stretch where everything comes together
The front wing is attached







Then after a good few hours the decals were on there was one that didnt play ball
The tyre decals have given me problems in the past but after reading the instructions properly they were easy to apply.

















and finally all put together.



Thanks again for looking and for your comments i will post some more pics in the reveal section.
