thanks!

spend few hours doing the seat belt, wasted most of the times searching the PE parts on the floor

also the Ferrari decal from Hobby Design doesn't stick well, it also doesn't react with Mr Softer/Setter, so i used super glue, bad choice again after that only i realise Thin cement incredibly melt the decal and make it look like it was printed on the belt, so i might redo the belt




applying the Ferrari metal transfer is ridiculously frustrating.... i tried 4 times, destroy 3 metal transfer and the "Ferrari" word doesnt adhere to the surface, the last 3 words 'ari' stick to the tranparent sheet everytime i peel it off, ends up i had to position it 1 by 1, look at my thumb you'll know how tiny it is..i realise the curve surface is the main factor it doesn't adhere well


but the result is fantastic!

beautiful work, may i ask what kind of seat belt material you used? Those transfers are tricky sometimes, i messed up one on my r32.

Superb craftsmanship. Have you tried thinned white glue for fixing the decal on the seat belt?

Helico, i haven't tried that though, but i'm not sure will white glue solve the "silvering" on the decal

thanks, i learn almost everything in AF!

Interior is done!

I did not use flocking this time, instead i use some velvet cloth, something like MFH adhesive cloth, but it was too black, so i tone it down by spraying a coat of Flat Clear and glued with double sided tape.


Redo the buttons


Add white wordings with flat white enamel using toothpick, and glued the vents with white glue


Seat harness weren't glue, just use masking tape to hold them at the bottom of the seat


Left & right door and the dashboard weren't glue, they fit tight so i just secure them with masking tape






Masked and sprayed the chassis with semigloss black, then scrap off the bolt heads

Great interior, great photography!

hello
your interior and superb


the super works
very goog job

[Entau]

Thanks guys!


Finish the under chassis





a bit difficult to capture, the exhaust is actually not totally black, it has a bit of metallic shine

test fit the wipers, it touch the windscreen & no gap this time


body not so fortunate....damnn


although just a small spot, it have to be repair with caution, so i handpaint it with toothpick, the paint can't be too thick, built up the paint slowly, around 4 times to get this, about 10-15 minutes in between


after 4 hours, i wetsand with 2000 sandpaper, still left a bit of dent


so i repeat again, but lesser paint this time, just enough since paint will shrink went it dries


hopefully tonight when i wetsand again it will look like nothing happen

It is amazing how meticulous you can be. I would already be pretty happy with first fix you did!
