Williams FW19 - F1 1/24 Revell

[F1-Fan]

It's coming along very well. I heard a lot of bad comments about this model kit mostly in regards of the fit of the parts that made me think twice when I look to my kit's box. But you are changing my mind.

Which color did you use for the blue? It looks spot on.

Thanks for share your w.i.p.

Dear all,
Thank you for your comments:-)

At the moment I have no much time to continue this wip,
but I hope I'll proceed soon with next steps


I answer to your questions:

F1-fan: I used "TS-15 Tamiya blue" for car body and " TS-26 pure white"for white surfaces not covered by white decals;

Mario Fdz: I try to explain what I do:
I usually apply TS-13 spray clear to the Model in order to fix decals.
TS-13 is very good in my opinion, but decals must have good quality in order to guarantee a good ahesion to surface or it could break up them.
Being decals of poor quality (except tobacco ones that I bought apart) I avoid TS-13 and I use x22 clear (which is not aggressive to decals) for avoiding possibility of ahestetic problems.

I hope that my explanation could be useful for you :-)

Regards!

You don't have any issues spraying x22 over lacquers or enamels?

About x-22 over enamels I can't answer to you because I've never done it;
about x-22 over laquers you must apply a very light coat with a right mix between x-22 and its thinner and a right distance from the piece.
I suggest you to try before on a draft surface avoiding disaster on the Model ( unfortunately I did some disaster at the first time...)
After clear application I use the micromesh for a good surface finishing.
I repeat polishing and clear application operations as I reach a good surface aspect.

Bye!

Unfortunately there is a little problem:I lost the right mirror and I have
to replace it :-(
How can I made the lost mirror?
Do you have any suggestion (for example 3D print?)

The mirror is shown in the following picture
