Williams Honda FW10 - Studio27 1/20
Needed a new challenge...
 I have put on my workbench an old S27 kit of Williams FW10. Kit is rather a dog so I decided to donor some of the parts from Tamiya FW11 kit. The plan is: modify front and rear suspension, donor: wheels, gearbox and suspension parts from Tamiya (btw it seems that S27 just copied Tamiya parts), MFH seat belts and some bits and pieces to make it more alive. If anyone can help me with the pictures of the real car I would be very gratefull. Especially I am lacking of rear/engine/gearbox pics. No pics of interior as well... So far, so good. Some basic puttying/cleaning started.       S27 vs Tamiya

Re: Williams Honda FW10 - Studio27 1/20
Looking forward to this one too. I'm sure you'll make a great job of it, but you're right, it does look like a real dog of kit! Is that typical S27 quality, or have things improved since?

Re: Williams Honda FW10 - Studio27 1/20
It seems that they improved quality - that's what I presume looking at my other kits.
Here comes a small update. Not very spectacular. I have cut off diffuser and glued a new one from Tamiya kit. The old one was bended and not nicely molded. I have puttied and primed underbody. It still requires some corrections. 3-4 hours of work and body has been 75% cleaned up - I have cleaned air intakes (mould shifted), cockpit and drilled a hole for new gearbox. My plans about donor parts have changed. I wanted to use whole rear suspension of FW11 but I read that FW10 used push rod what has changed to pull rod in FW10B (the same as FW11). So, I faced two options: a) build FW10B - which means to created new rear of body and I don't have even a one picture of it. b) build FW10 and use Studio27 upper arms as designed. Not very elegant... Well I've choosen B option as I would like to finish this buiild in a reasonable time frame.    Here you can see another problem - air ducts for rear brakes. They look badly aligned as I think they should be parallel to the wheel. I don't have a good picture to compare. For now, I am pretty calm

Re: Williams Honda FW10 - Studio27 1/20
This thread is not dead baby, it is not dead
After a long, long while I've gone back to this build. Some progress has been made and I am determined to finish this model by the end of this year. So more updates to follow What has been done... Body has been primed with Gunze Resin Primer than mist layered with Base White. Now is sitting in my dry booth with Finisher's Base White sprayed on. BTW I am not entirely happy with the result as the Finisher's paint gave some texture unlike the lastly used Tamiya/Gunze. Hope it will flatten out while drying... Wheels painted and weathered. The first time I painted logos and I am pretty happy with the outcome. It looks much better than decals. Now working on rear suspension (big, big pita). Front and rear wing painted, pics will come asap. Primed  Painted body  Wheel business    Suspension parts

Painting is moving forward...
Some measurements with decals copy  Masking  After painting. There are two places where masking tape has pilled off. Not a problem as it goes under the decal  Masking - 3M tape + Tamiya 40mm. Painted Tamiya Lemon Yellow thinned with Gunze Leveling Thinner

Re: Williams Honda FW10 - Studio27 1/20
Decal nightmare begins...
Decals are pretty old but no yellowing noticed. Opaqueness and transparency (as far) are very good. They do not respond very well to Gunze softening solution - I used hair dryer and tones of Mr. Softer. After half an hour they started to respond. Heart stopping procedure Now it’s drying time and I hope that it will look at least well.

Re: Williams Honda FW10 - Studio27 1/20
Well, I am sorry - it will be number 5...
Decals on nose came up pretty bad... I hope I will correct some cracks and deformations with clearcoat and sanding. It is strange - some decals responded well and layed nicely, others gave me headache.
