bossy122 Kit wing on the right, old, non puttied one on the left. Had to practice masking off that light green line as those kit decals for it S U C K!

bossy122 Progressing...

Peter Hardy Very nice paint!

bossy122 TS35 and TS44.

bossy122 As far as I can tell, Zanardi ran without the little radiators at the rear wheels so I had to fill in the spaces with some epoxy putty.

bossy122 Some carbon fibre for the floor...

bossy122 Some 1 24 carbon and clear flat over the headrest to give it a material look.

bossy122 The fun thing to me with that PE set is it gives you the dash vents. ....and a phone....and fan blades you'll never see again.
Also trying out Eduards harnesses. Even with a coat of flat clear, they still look a bit too metallic.

Spanjaard Thanks a lot bossy122!

bossy122 Added the Eduard harnesses. They could be a brighter shade of blue...

Spanjaard they look really good

bossy122 Cleared the big hurtle: the Michelin Man! The Renaissance set comes with 2 decals, a full white decal and the man himself that goes on top of that. Neither of which were cut to fit the headlights or grilles, so dealing with that much decal on an uneven surface was fun....TWICE! But it came out and now I can move forward.

Spanjaard nice!

bossy122 Thanks. Wasn't so sure I could get that on there. Got that pesky bubble out too. ; )

bossy122 Crawling along with this project.....

bossy122 Start with the hard part first. Sanded/polished the front wing (still got pits my eyes couldn't see ) then affix with Tamiya epoxy putty to putty the gap of the 2 pieces from the inside out. Now to sand that rock hard crap down....

Norbert Steffens I like formula 1 cars, but only the old ones. It looks like metalfinish??

bossy122 The front wing is white metal. I polished it up to give it a smoother finish. Ultimately, it will be painted over. The J192 raced in 1992 with front wing made of carbon fibre. So it depends on the definition of "older".
But that polished white metal looks great, don't it? I suggested to one of the Japanese manufacturers that they should think about making after market white metal wings for 70s F1 car kits but nothing ever happened. Maybe they'd be too heavy for the plastic parts they'd be affixed to.

bossy122 Now to deal with those wonderful microscopic bubbles in the putty that can't be seen until some paint is added or you take a pic in super macro. I can see one...

bossy122 Hopefully that's that out of the way.

Norbert Steffens Great. I have a great respect of the shiny finish of a formula one car. But yours are fine so far

bossy122 Thanks.

bossy122 Hey! That came out better than i'd hoped.
