Thanks Sjelic.
I have used tamiya XF1 as base colour and using Tamiya weathering master for touch up.

Hello all

In order to give more contrast on the engine bay, I have applied CF pattern to the suspensions last night.

Happy Modelling

Holy cow, that looks awesome!
Damn, I'm feeling the pressure to CF my Leyton House project a LOT more than I intended now...

Keep it up!

Thank you Captain Mark

But don't feel to much pressure on it, you should enjoy modelling, right?

My technique for applying CF is that I would use a paint brush to make sure the CF laying flat to the parts.

Hope this help

how did you get the finish on that brake caliper?
dry brush on the edges? it looks real...

Beautiful work, your modeling and photography skills have really made this a superb effort. Thanks for sharing your progress on this amzing kit with us.

Are you sure this Jordan had suspension parts made of CF? Back in 1991? I doubt it... But anyway, it looks pretty cool!

I nearly missed this - better late than never

Terrific build!

I hate to agree (and therefore say anything), but the 191 had alloy suspension members that were painted/coated to a semi-gloss black finish.

The 191 had a carbon fibre front pushrod for at least some events. The rest was as Bill states to the best of my knowledge. The brake ducts were c/f too, rather untidy looking by todays standards.
I like the way those pivot points and shocks are coming along!

Stunning.. When you apply the CF, do you make the template a little bigger and then cut the excess off when applied to the part? I need to learn how to do this, as I can't expect SMS to make templates for every single model ever produced....

It looks so good, as CF decals are the next challange for me. Got P/E kinda sorted, CF is next and your CF work looks great.. For my first attempt at CF I ordered SMS templated decals, but as I said this will only take me so far, I need to learn how to make my own..!! Reading freakrays FAQ has helped, but seeing your CF work as made me think just how good this can look..!!

Keep it up, this is one of the best detailed 90's F1 cars I've seen..
