  1. update some progress The painting and wiring just followed MFH's detail book. Also weathered the rivets.
  2. Still use TopStudio's upgrade parts. Added weathering to accentuate the detail.
  3. Updated some progress. Finished the rear wing. Thinned down the end-plate and adjusted the groove for the assembly.
  4. I used some clear pictures to calculate the pitch. And asked someone to help to print it. The steering wheel just uses smaller design.
  5. Updated some progress Finished the front wing and steering wheel. Still added the dotted line to improve the realism. About the brake, added the used trace on the brake disc.
  6. Update some progress. The front dampers and chassis front bulkhead were finished. The space of electric connector is too small, very hard to install the wires.
  7. Update some progress. The ECU was finished. I used transplanted plastic to make the cover of header, which is satisfying for me.
  8. Update some progress. There is dotted line on the carbon fiber in the specific area. I used some clear pictures and model to calculate the pitch. And asked someone to help to print it. The result looks good to me. The cockpit almost finished, which will wax before assembly.
  9. The connector is including in the set, but it needs some practices to make it.
  10. Update some progress. I made some modifications on the sidepod. I used the plastic plate to make some pattern and used paint thickness to achieve the gap of trench on the sidepod. Also polished the matt clear paint to hide the gap of carbon decals. Finally, I added a lot of parts and cables on it.
  11. About the paint peeling issue, you can use sandpaper polish the metal or resin parts to increase the contact area. Before painting, please wash it. Dishwahing liquid is ok. I don't know this procedure is OK or not for Tamiya's primer, but it should be fine for the Gunze B527 grey primer. I used it several years, please try it.
  12. My building sequence is as follows. primer -> color paint -> clear paint -> decal -> clear paint 3 or 4 times for all -> polish -> semi-gloss or matt for carbon area I think the clear paint on the carbon decal should be OK. 248F1 used the same procedure. You can check the carbon area.
  13. Do you mean the sequence of the process? I will do the painting first. After that, use Tamiya's yellow tape to describe the shape of carbon fiber and stick on the decal to cut it. It probably needs several pieces. Then, spray the clear paint and polish it to hide the gap between the different decals. It is really exhausting.
