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.

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.
