    Thank you for your appreciation. I’m working on the other red parts as well. The rear wing also needs to be glued and the gaps filled first, but it’s quite tricky to get the alignment and symmetry right.

    I used super glue mixed with regular gray putty to fill the panel lines. It’s also my first time building a kit from this manufacturer — it’s a Yokohama Hobby Forum limited edition, and it’s basically similar to Studio27's kit...

    Update some progress Almost all the panel lines are too thick so I filled them in and re-scribed everything, especially since the fuel cap was misaligned. As with the Halo, I glued it in place first, filled the gaps, and then applied gray primer at the end to check the surface.

    Update some progress. Finished the air funnel part.

    Drilled the cooling vents and thinned the connecting parts of front wing.

    Update some progress Use 1mm spring to simulate duct hose and use checkered heat shield sticker.

    Thanks a lot, I hope it almost perfect. Yes, I used Tamiya wih TopStudio's set. The wishbone is Tamiya's parts, they probably used metal for all 1/12 F1 car. The MFH detail book just uses for reference. I did some modifications based on it.

    update some progress Added the addtional oil cup and changed the red and yellow cable for the exhaust O2 sensor.

    update some progress The painting and wiring just followed MFH's detail book. Also weathered the rivets.
  11. okazaki0511
    Still use TopStudio's upgrade parts. Added weathering to accentuate the detail.

    Thanks, but I didn't join the SMW last year.

    Hope you like it.

    Updated some progress. Finished the rear wing. Thinned down the end-plate and adjusted the groove for the assembly.

    I used some clear pictures to calculate the pitch. And asked someone to help to print it. The steering wheel just uses smaller design.

    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.

    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.
  18. okazaki0511
    Update some progress. The ECU was finished. I used transplanted plastic to make the cover of header, which is satisfying for me.
  19. okazaki0511
    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.

    The connector is including in the set, but it needs some practices to make it.

    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.

    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.
  23. okazaki0511
    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.
  24. okazaki0511
    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.
  25. okazaki0511
    Update some progress. The cockpit painting was finished, just wait a sunny day for the clear spray. I sharpened some corner and adjusted the thickness to make sure it looks like a real car. Also used a lot of carbon decals to improve the realism.
