![]() ![]() But when doing a mock-up I noticed that I'll need them anyway. ![]() Initially I thought I wouldn't need them to install the fins and filled and sanded them. As I couldn't find any picture showing the FXX-K's diffusor in carbon, I decided to make life easy and paint everything in a light black.įirst I had to re-engrave the grooves for the two most inner fins. The diffusor is sanded, primered and painted now. The FXXK is on my build list, but the carbon fibre decal work is scaring me off a little. ![]() I can tell this is going to be another epic build. Now I'm not sure anymore whether I should use carbon decals or only paint it black. I already cut the stencils for the carbon decals, but when I looked at pictures of the original car, I only saw a satin black diffusor. I hope that next time I have finished sanding the diffusor and that I found out whether the diffusor is made out of carbon or not. Once this is finished, all the sanding of the body parts should be completed and I should be able to start priming and painting them. That's why I'm still sanding and filling, but it seems to come to an end as well. So I had to close the end of the groove and rescribe it. On the rear end it was about 1 mm too much on the right side. When doing a mock up with the PE fins I noticed that I made a mistake at the leftmost groove. Especially as this was the first time I tried this technique to fill the seams. I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. On the left side you can see the final result after sanding and polishing, on the right side you see how it looked after letting it sit and cure for a few days.Īnd that's how the bonnet looks now. The join lines on the bonnet have been filled the same way I used on the diffusor. The outsides of the doors have been assembled and sanded smooth Some scratches have been filled with some sanding dust and Tamiya Cement. Then the fins from the kit part have been removed to add the fins from the PE set afterwards. As this is a Tamiya kit I wasn't really surprised that everything seems to be fine so far □ First of all a mock up to see if everything fits. Work continued, although in small steps only. ![]()
