Re: Tamiya Ferrari FXX Wip
Hi, I got to work on putting the carbon fiber decals on parts of the body. These doors and front hood/clip took about twenty hours to decal. I can report that the SMS decals fit great, the only problem I experienced was on the very front, the decal which covers where the front Ferrari logo is. Instructions say not to use the the red decal stuff, only the solution in the blue bottle. However, I used both MicroSet and Microsol (don't remember which is which but I used both liberally on this project) with no problems.
This car will be #89, that is a special number for me. This is sort of a fantasy, of what my FXX would look like, if I had my own. Everything was coated with TS Black, now on to the pictures. There are no Ferrari logos yet, as these decals will be applied over photoetched badges and then glued on later.

Re: Tamiya Ferrari FXX Wip
That CF-work is fantastic. That is a very challenging project that I really dig. You got to love a superdecal-job!

Re: Tamiya Ferrari FXX Wip
Looks good, i got the itch to start mine now. Becareful if you plan on clearing the decals. Cf came out nice.
BTW Scalemotorsport now sells that type of cf in sheets, so if you ruin a decal you can always buy a full sheet. I plan on getting on just so i can practice clears on it.

Re: Tamiya Ferrari FXX Wip
I have already clearcoated the decals. A local friend runs a body shop and was kind enough to donate to me a can of "Spraymax 2k Glamour High Gloss". I cleared everything and it looks stunning! I would have pics up already, but I'm working on improving my photography and haven't got around to getting posterboard to make a white background with haha.

Re: Tamiya Ferrari FXX Wip
I Love the idea of building what you would want your FXX to look like.
Why did most of the owners opt for Red? hell if id just paid 2million Euro for one it would have to have some kinda irresident or candy or simply coated in 22K GOLD. Great work, im folowing this one!!

Re: Tamiya Ferrari FXX Wip
Okay, here are a few pictures after clearcoating. I installed photoetched mesh on the rear, and cf'ed under the back wheel wells, as well as some photoetch bolts on the spoiler area. You can also see the front amber lights that I scratchbuilt. As I was holding the kit parts with tweezers, they flew across the garage never to be found again, so it was time to break out some clear styrene rod and get to work.
Sorry for a few fingerprints here and there, took these pics in a hurry.
