Yep another Formula One Model

This is Fujimi's #422-8033 1/20th scale model of the Sauber C30 Sergio Perez drove inj the 2011 Japanese Grand Prix.

One of the guys who purchased a few of my built F1 models sent me this kit and Fujimi's Ferrari F2012 to build for him

Very, very nice kit, curbside, excellent decals

Having an F1 track on the doorstep I see a lot of different team cars. So this build is very similar in fact so similar it could be a real one. Well done for a great build.

Its a beauty.....I built the same car, different driver version, but you sure did a great job on it.....I got that kit because I like the paint and sponser markings....I was happy to see that Fujimi gave us the painting masks for the color break. As usual, you did a great job on it...very clean.....P.S., isn't the front wing a royal pain in backside getting it right!.....come to think of it, I found the tire markings difficult too, with all of the components to them. Again, nicely done Curt.

thanx

You are right about the front wing...over 15 parts to it and very delicate, just hope I can pack it safely for it's ride to Germany!

the tires were another adventure...thru trial and error found the best method was to first apply the "P Zero", then both of the "arc stripes" followed by "Pirrelli" centering it between the stripes...did a little trimming on the stripes for fit.

I didn't like the finish so brushed on a little Microscale Clear Flat to even it out

again thanx

It is nice to see a F1 that is not one of the "big boys", i.e. Ferrari. She looks great Curt. I am happy to see this built. You have done a great job of it. I have looked at this kit many times but have not bought it. You say it is a very nice kit so that is good enough for me! Maybe Santa will bring me one :D .

Great job, and especially so in getting the front wheel camber just right. Does the kit allow for that or did you have to play with it?

Thanx,

I had to do a little fiddling with front suspension...
