Just a few small things left before I can call it complete.
I’ll clean up the roof air intake to make it look proper — the dent there is bothering me.
Exterior parts
Photo-etched mesh parts.
The ones on the bonnet need to be bent in a double curvature. Doing this without a bending jig is tricky, so mine came out a little uneven.
The canards are already pre-pressed, which is great. I’ll attach them with real micro screws.
The complex rear wing and the side skirts
I drilled the holes in the body for the night rally lighting. And here are the lamp units themselves together with the frame.
Here is how it looks assembled. I put it together carefully with CA glue. The reflectors were masked; everything else will be painted in one colour.
Paint results.
I painted the wing elements separately.
Then applied the “invisible” carbon pattern and sealed it with a semi-matte clear coat.
And assembled everything into one module.
The mesh pieces and other small parts are also ready for installation.
Masked the windows.
Semi-matte black applied.
And a few decals.
By the way, I applied the driver names from the inside — looks surprisingly good. I’ll keep doing it this way from now on.
After installing the exterior parts, everything was ready for the “marriage”.
At the very end I added the rear wing and the light pod. Done.
Some shots around.
Detail up photos.
Thanks for watching — the build is finished.
