Alright, finally I got this monster done after so much difficult work!!! I am happy with this out of the box build... but definitely no more MG stuff...

Detailed building diary will be on modelersite.com soon.








What's next?? I am thinking either Jordan J199 or Ligier JS43 conversion.

Enjoys!!!

Well, almost there!!

Wheels are painted. The quality of the wheel is not nice. It is more like a toy. I spray paint it with TS30. I feel the front tire is abit too wide,.




Engine and transmission part. The main part is painted with TS30. Then CF with modelers CF decals and some SMS CF decals. After than, semi-gloss coat with Gunze acrylic top-coat spray can.



All suspension arms and uprights are attached with 30 min epoxy glue. The whole thing is damn heavy. Epoxy glue is the only choice for white metal stuff...



Next, exhaust pipes + rest of the misc stuff, like camera, antenna etc etc.

Hello all,

I am thinning out my resin F1 kit collections.

1. BBR 1/20 Ferrari F310 Low Nose - $125 SOLD

Kit in mint condition. This is a hard to find kit because BBR no longer makes 1/20 kit. Piloted by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine in 1996 F1 season. The kit quality is great and all sponsor (including smokin..) decals are there.




2. Studio 1/20 Prost AP03 Japanese GP - $145 SOLD

Kit in mint condition. This is a hard to find kit. Piloted by Hiefeld and Alesi in 2000 F1 season.



2. Studio 1/20 BAR 003 Monaco GP - $145 SOLD

Kit in mint condition. This is a hard to find kit. Piloted by Villeneuve and Panis in 2001 F1 season.

Hello all,

I am thinning out my resin F1 kit collections.

1. Treasure Hunt 1/20 Williams FW22 Hungarian GP - $140

Kit in mint condition. This is a hard to find kit because Treasure Hunt is no longer in business. It comes with side wings and chimney for Hungarian GP setup. Extremely nice aluminum machined wheels. Piloted by Ralf Schumacher and Jenson Button in 2000 F1 season. The kit quality is much better that newer S27 kit.





2. Studio 1/20 Williams FW17 Brazilian GP - $140 SOLD

Kit in mint condition. This is a hard to find kit. Piloted by Damon Hill and David Coulthard in 1995 F1 season.

Alright, monocoque is complete, minus bulk head details. I will do that after engine+transmission is done.

Front suspension arms are CFed and attached with epoxy glue. This thing is very heavy now. Barge board is test-fitted on the mount and it works well so far. Mirror is attached too.



Seat is attached on the floor with epoxy glue too.



Steering wheel is attached with epoxy glue as well. The whole steering wheel is made of white metal and is very heavy.. Using krazy-glue won't hold. The mirror is a mirror-like sticker spared from the Tamiya display case.



Close up on the stock CF pattern on suspension arms. The decal quality is not bad at all. It reacts well with Gunze decal setting solution. That makes my work easier.


Now moving on to engine/transmission department. I just soldered the white metal pipes on side pod.


Now I hope all 4 wheels can touch the ground after it completes!!!
Stayed tuned for more...
