The right blue colour for Williams FW24
There were some doubts regarding the correct colour to use for the Williams FW24 a while back and til now there wasnt any confirmation.
Some said it was the TS-64 but that was made especially for this model: http://www.tamiya.com/english/produc...uler/index.htm So I wrote an email to our local supplier who got in touch with Tamiya and I got a reply from him: Quote:
Hope this helps for those who were waiting for the correct colour to use.

Yep, that's what it calls for in the instructions.

The instruction calls for TS-51 Racing Blue, formerly Telefinica blue, right?

My stupid hobby store doesn't have a good selection of Tamiya paints so I may have to use something else like ts-50

Seriously, I don't buy it...they hiding something. TS-51 don't look like anything that's on their FW24... So I think they had used some Finisher's paint. I do remember they sell that color, but I can't order it by air.
Try to spray some on the unwanted part with TS51, you see the differents compare to their finished FW24. I think I will wait for that TS-64 to release. It's all my Rtuned |

The TS-64 looks a tad too dark and the texture doesnt seem right for the Williams. Look at the link I posted.
Perhaps there's a hidden agenda as you say on Tamiya's part but I seriously doubt it. Coming straight from Tamiya's mouth via Tai Shing and approved by Williams F1 Team. If I didnt receive any reply, I would still have my doubts about using TS-51, thats why I wrote to them in the first place to clarify the colour. Anyways, there may be some truth in what you say Rtuned. But its just doesnt make sense. Why would Tamiya try to 'cheat' us with an issue as small as a spray colour can? Also, if they can be bothered with coming out a special colour for the truck, why not for a Williams? Bear in mind that all kits has to be approved and licensed by the relevant principle car makers, in this case Williams. Just some points to ponder if you will.

I believe Tamiya have utilised the paint in their range closest to the true color, that is all.

I am not sure about the paint yet but did anybody figure out how to get the seat in after glueing the monocoque halves together. Any ideas on where to cut etc.

935k3,
The instructions say to attach the seat to the inside of the monocoque before you glue them together (Step 7) |

Will we see Thesaint111 be the first in AF to start with this kit?
Actually, if you guys feel that TS-51 isnt the correct colour, its really up to you. Its your kit afterall. Maybe take your time like what Rtuned said and wait or search for the right tone of blue. But I better post a disclaimer in case anyone here builds the kit and end up feeling that TS-51 isnt the right colour But 1 thing I can assure you, that the above email is cut and paste and its from TaiShing. So, good building guys!
