beautiful job on the carbon fiber and the black paint. keep us informed.:popcorn:

i think that you have don a grand job on the C/F work maybe a light coat of smoke over the decals and it will all come together nice well done its not easy to lay down that much C/F decals

Hi, i see you do have some dust problem there...but this is more obvious in black & dark colors.

have you tried polishing the body? dust can be minimize if you do it correctly & with caution.
for situation like this, i'll use multi sandpapers to smoothen out the dust or at least flatten the dirt a little...something from 2000 working up to 8000 grit. but i normally solve this problem before i gloss up the body. from the pics i can't determine what stage you're in now.

there maybe other more accomplish modelors reading this here, who may introduce you to a more easier approach on dealing with such paintwork...so be patient...

good luck!:popcorn:

ciao, yes, I have problems with dust, but have not yet found the sandpapers suitable for polishing and remove the dirt.

I used paint 2K and only with this is my problem, I do not understand why.
Thank you

ciao, now worked on the engine bay.

ciao.

hi , now the images are visibile.

For those building Schum's FXX in the future...his car is metallic black, not solid black. Either looks fine...depends on if you want to be accurate.:cool:

From my photos looks like a solid black
On the sheet of instructions dexster say black 910.
I do not think is correct, use the metalllic colors in these scale 1/24.

bye

I have pics that show it plainly is metallic black.

I am satisfied with my choice.
It 's always difficult to find metallic colors to make good in scale.

ciao

and now , the ENGINE.

gee bro,

you have to think of a way to tone down the gloss on those red decal trimmings on the wheels or are they supposed to look like this?

pardon me to say this...you have the ability to scratchbuild things i wouldn't dare to imagine doing, but your 'touch-up' skills has left me found wanting...

bro, you have to re-do the the console facia to make it look neater.
so don't rush ok?

cheers!:popcorn:

ciao, excuse me but I do not understand English very well.
you can repeat, thank you.

:sorry: :1zhelp:

Rock: let me to translate (with my crappy english though :D) also becouse I think the same, or worst since I'm saying same thing to this ITA friend from ages and I see not improovments ;) :D

@Bull: ti traduco quello che Rock dice e che condivido ed appoggio :D

"Dovresti pensare ad un modo per opacizzare i filetti rossi nei cerchi, o è presumibile restino così?
Perdonami se ti dico questo: hai la capacità di autocostruire cose che non riesco ad immaginare di fare, ma l'abilità nel ritocco (finitura) lascia a desiderare.. (in inglese suona meno cattivo e più sfumato...)
Fratello: devi rifare la fascia della consolle o renderla più pulita, non correre ok?"

Bull il suo intervento suona simpatico anche se deciso: io lo condivido al 100%, hai delle capacità ma spesso cadi su delle menate... magari ore e ore di carbon fiber ben fatto per vedere poi un trim sputacchiato

gee bro,

pardon me to say this...you have the ability to scratchbuild things i wouldn't dare to imagine doing, but your 'touch-up' skills has left me found wanting...


cheers!:popcorn:

I agree on this one. Some things are done lovely, but some do not get the same high standard as the others.

Thankx alot gio!

i was still scratching my head how to put it across to bull...
i'm not a native english speaker too cos' i'm a chinese! hehe...:tongue:

I'm sorry for my finish touch, but I have the Fiat syndrome . :crying:

:)

please don't say that bull...modeling is a funny thing, the more you do it the more you improve, automatically. everyone here has gone through this so it's very normal...

trust me, you'll overcome this gloss thing & become one of the top (ferrari) builders around. you're 95% there already...for what i know!

keep up the good work ok!?:tongue:
(say, what's 'ciao' in italian by the way? in chinese under the hokkien dialect group, it means 'bye bye'.)

not worry, I am one who always jokes.

I hope really better as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Damn, stunning work there! Definitely one I'll follow along again as I attempt mine (will be no where near as detailed as yours, lol). One thing that bugs me though is how cleanly you've built it and yet the exhaust pipes seem too dirty...just looks strange to me. Top stuff though, congrats.

the exhaust pipes are so TAMIYA as he put in the box. I just glue them.
Thanks for the compliment.
At the next work.
