I know you're not a fan of 3D for the most part but I thought you might still find this piece interesting. There are pics of the actual printed product as well. https://www.shapeways.com/product/QY5GGYLUB/mclaren-f1-engine-v2-1-for-fujimi-scale-1-24-kit?optionId=43572309&li Thanks, bud!....i'm glad you enjoy my builds!....i like where the technology is going with the 3D, but its not quite there for me to bother with....it actually causes more work for me, and my least favorite work -sanding, lol....i have seen that....thanks for posting, but i have something pretty neat planned for my engine bay.
Dann Tier Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Hey, everyone!, i have decided to use the engine from my Aoshima kit to put into this Fujimi build.....hopefully i will be painting all the bits up today.....i was sent this kit by accident anyway, so might as well use some of it, right?

Good plan Dann. I wish someone would accidentally send me a kit like that too!

Dann Tier Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 (edited) Hey everyone, heres where im at with this one; -Photo 1; All the undercarraige bits painted and ready for detailing. I also drilled out the exhaust tips. even a black paint/wash wouldnt have looked very real. -Photo 2; These are all ready for detailing, but i need to paint the drivers seat first. -Photo 3; I replaced the racing tires with street tires from a Tamiya FXX kit. -Photo 4; Next for the body are decals and clearcoat. I do have to admit that somehow i missed scribing the front fender arch trim. -Photo 5; A nice ride height now. Edited January 7 by Dann Tier 7
David G. Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Nice work! It looks like you're almost ready for assembly. David G. 1
beeRS Posted January 11 Posted January 11 That looks great Dann👍🏼. Orange is the iconic colour for these. Are you still planning on fitting the engine from the Aoshima kit?
