Hi guys,
It's been a while since I last did a F1 car. This is my latest F1 work that is Red Bull RB6. I know that there's someone who has started it but then, I would like to show how I did my work though I wouldn't be placing details as I'm still lacking skills in F1 kits.
Before I did the work, I had put up a topic in the forum before about the alternate colour scheme. Here is the link :

It's hard to order spray paints in my country cause not many people are into modeling & it so happened that the supplier has finished off selling TS89 which is recommended by the kit itself.
I happened to follow Lesley's (
eyckles) suggestion on my thread above, so here is the photo of the experiment I've made. The parts I used are unused MotoGP Tamiya parts. Top part I sprayed TS29 as base colour & sprayed with TS51. The bottom part I sprayed TS29 like the above & sprayed with TS50 to tryout.
My first part of work is to colour the monocoque, the headrest & the ventilation hole (I might be wrong as I'm not well versed with F1 parts). First thing I did is to spray with TS29 then later on TS51. Here are the results.
I wish that Tamiya comes up with the masking tape for it cause I would say not everyone is good at masking though. If you notice it, you can see a dark blue patch on the part where the yellow part should be painted along with the 'bleeding' at another side.
Here are the photos of the seat along with some work on the monocoque. The seat took me a while to work on as I used photo etched parts for the seat belt & I work on the unbuckled version. After a long paint on the interior part of the monocoque with X18 (Took me almost half hour to paint it) & some patience with the work, that's the result of the monocoque work.
I would like to thank Lesley (
eyckles) for the suggestion & I will continue the work on the kit tomorrow.
