Re: McLaren MP4/6 + Thunder Valley detail kit
Hi all,
Been a while but still going. Sidepods redone. Painted grey-blue, then added clear CF decals, then matt clear. Gloss CF decals added, then the bolts. Worked on the wheels. Drilled hole for valve. Used a circular file to open the centre hole to accept the wider bolts from Acu-Stion. Then cleaned and primed. Working on airbox. Lots of gaps and holes to fill, then sanded back. Started engine. Drilled out connectors as will be adding metal parts. Sanded off the molded bolts on the exhaust outlets as these will be replaced with TV pieces. These are the inside pieces of the front wing. Drilled to accept the RB Motion metal pieces which will be attached to the restarining cables to the monocoque. Primed, painted satin black then matt finish. Body is coming along. This has taken ages to get to this stage. Glued in the pieces behind drivers head and the side air exits. Sanded off all the molded bolt heads. Filled the screw holes as out of scale and the model will be displayed with cowling off. Drilled new small bolt holes, then sanded everything back and primed. Took mutliple layers to have very smooth finish. Then painted Tamiya gloss white from the can. 4 coats, with sanding back between. After cured for a few weeks, taken back with tamiya coarse polish and washed. Then left it for a month and layed down tamiya fluro red from the can, 3 coats. After removing the masking tape there was a flaw in the red so I waited 2 months before polishing back and adding a final 2 coats. Then polished again to be smooth. Decals added a few days ago, still need some softening but pleased so far. Will be a while before this is cleared and polished. Hoping to make some more progress on the other bits for next time. That is all for now. KC |
