pg265 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Stabilizing bar and rear view mirrors polished: The intake trumpets are made of brass and need another color. As usual with that kind of part, I prefer a chemical traetment. So, the mesh is burnished with a blackening agent and slightly dry brushed with Metal Cote Polished Steel. Then a thin aluminum band is installed around the base of the mesh. An example on the MFH Lotus 49 DFV intakes, then on the AWESOME Widia velocity stacks of the McLaren.

pg265 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Fuel pump, expansion bowl (?...) and wing mounts installed. The engine mounting plates are rebuilt and installed with RBMotion hardware. Time for the Papaya to have wheels. Central seam line is sanded. The blue ring is a mix of US Navy paints from Model Master Acryl. Tires are airbrushed thru the MFH tool. A last look on the caliper and its details... Shoes or socks on!

LSP_Paul Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Pascal, BOTH Cars, the Ferrari and the Mclaren are absolutely outstanding miniatures. It's really cool to see how much F-1 has changed though your modeling efforts and the study of the prototypes Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 WOW! Those look terrific. The details and paint work alone are worth a closer look by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat black after masking: Windshield is installed with 0.7 resin rivets. Mirrors, Dzus and metal rivets of the front hatch are also now done. I'm trying to take better pics maybe a bit later...
