curt raitz Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 This has been on and off the workbench o'er the past couple of months... just put the finishing touches on this past weekend Tamiya's latest venture into the modern F1 cars My only complaint is the lack of detail and extra goodies regarding the engine area and how close the front /rear tires are in size (easy to confuse)...other than that it's an excellent kit and everything fit as one would expect of Tamiya kit. Tried to paint it with ScaleFinishes Ferrari Red for this car, but after a few coats of color o'er the gold basecoat kept getting a black pigment popping thru...I'm sure it was something I was doin' wrong - might have been a little too aggressive on building up the color o'er the basecoat. Ended up shooting Tamiya's TS-85 Mica Red Metaalic (designed for this kit). Went on really nice and appears to be the right color. Stuck some aftermarket decals from Tabu to replicate the Marlboro Barcode hope you enjoy... Thanx for lookin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Not my type of build but can't deny on just how beautiful it turned out, as usual!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Curt, another fantastic build. Glad to hear it fit well. I have this in my stash, but not sure if I am ready to build it just yet. I have the Scalefinishes paint too. Again, I really like how this turned out. Love the car myself. Thought it was a beautiful design.

935k3 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Great job Curt. I have that same problem when clear coating silver paints. The hot paints dissolve and refloat the pigments, it drives you crazy sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredzadventure Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 "Ok so, Fernando is faster then you. You can confirm you understood that message" I know that was this year but I hope Massa rips up the track this weekend at Brazil a little payback. Great car It looks super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but don't you know there are no team orders allowed in F1!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredzadventure Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yeah, but don't you know there are no team orders allowed in F1!?!? Of course just ask poor Rubens Barrichello I still can't wait for the race! Thank God for Speed Channel. Korea was very interesting Brazil should be good.
