Detailling rear wing
The rear wing is a piece of resin, with a base of copper wire which gives rigidity. The wing is divided into two parts, a rear, narrower and thinner than the front, which are joined by three holders and superimposed.
Final result
Surface preparation
Start a new kit, in this case of the Audi R10 TDI LeMans winner in 2006.
The kit is Le Mans Miniatures in collaboration with Motorsport Scale, 1:24.
The first impression is not very good, it is an expensive kit should have more and better detail. Continue reading »
This is the kit I have selected for this year Modeling Fight. It’s the McLaren F1 GTR which raced in the 24h of Le Mans in 1996 with the number 30.
It´s a multimedia kit from Renaissance Models.
Finished model…
I put the pictures of the last small details:
I build the three lighthouses that illuminate the dorsal with a piece of photoetch which is added a drop of tin …
The handle on the fire extinguishing system and the power switch on the bonnet, made with pieces of wire …
Power switch and handle placed on the bonnet …
I put small progress this afternoon …
Spoiler ready …. The red decal “Porsche” does not match in size to the hole where to place it, so I have to design it to the exact size and print on a slide, then painted red and ready. When printing is preferable to do it with the inverted image, leaving the printed part inside the transparency, then covering with paint.
Just need to varnish with matte the black surface of the wing.
By the end is painted and coated, crystals placed and ready to glue the pieces still loose around here:
A few new advances:
Detail of the guides that were placed during the adjustment of these parts to avoid problems at the time of final settlement.
The front decal came defective, so I mask up and repainted it.
Detailing the extinguisher. Just came the cylinder that makes the bottle, so I have invented the valve and the activation wiring.
The extinguisher and several mounted stuff.
