jaguar R01 -14

The final detail! the kill switch was glued to the car.
And the jaguar is finally done!!! I will take some more pictures on the sunlight and I'll put them on the gallery of my website.




Next cars will be a Ferrari 126C2 detailed and a Ferrari 126 CK.
Thank you very much to all!



jaguar R01 -13

I airbrushed a thin layer of clear, left two days to dry and finally I airbrushed two heavy layers.

jaguar R01 -12

The rear wing is finished
The jaguar decal is in its place. I also made the exhaust using metal tube.




I also decalled the camera and glued it on the top of the car.

I put the bridgestone decals on the tyres and airbrushed some smoke to tone down the shine of decals.




I also airbrushed some smoke and flat black on the exhausts.
The steering wheel and the mirrors are also finished and glued to the car.
The rear wing and the brakes are also attached to the car.
The car is close to be finished. Next work is clearcoat it with TS-13, add the antennas, the badgeboards and the wheels.

A little progress is done. I mounted the seat into the copckit and the front suspension arms were attached to the body.


I also finished the front wing and glued it to the nose.

I started the work on the wheels. I printed some "L" and "R" on an adhesive paper and cut them and put over the wheels.
I airbrushed magenta paint over the paterns. Next step will be apply the bridgestone decals and paint a mist coat of flat black and smoke to tone down the shine of the decals.

jaguar R01 -9

I continued decalling the body.

All body is decalled except the "jaguar" logo, wich I'll apply the last. The badgeboards and the rear wing side elements are also decalled.
I also put a red decal (I took it from a mp4/8 spare decal) into the air intake.

jaguar R01 -8

I "carbon-fibered" all suspension arms using scalemotorsports CF decals. As you can see on the left of the picture I also worked on the steering wheel.
The exhaust zones on the cowling were also covered with carfon fiber decals. It needs some black washing and I will also put some rivets there.

This is the first test fitting before applying decals.
The decalling job have started. Hope to have some advances soon....
Happy new year to all!

jaguar R01 -7

Today I airbrushed the jaguar green color from zero paints.
All green parts are painted. I also painted the front and rear wing elements in white. Next step will be put carbon fiber decals on suspension arms.

jaguar R01 -6

I started working on the wooden plank undeneath the car. The first step was paint a light brown base. As you can see, the rear wing plates are also near to be finished.
I airbrushed some coats of different mixtures of brown and flat black

I sanded the surface with 800-1000 grid from front to rear, drybrushed some wooden lines and repeated the airbrushing of brown and flat black
And here's the finalt result. I'm quite happy with it.




I also painted the rims with gold. I only have to put the tyre valves and clear coat with TS-13.

jaguar R01 -5

Finally I could work with jaguar again, the body parts were glued and filled the seam line and sanded it.

The injection marks in the floor plan were filled with putty and sanded.


I applyied two layers of grey primer and sanded again.

Two light layers of white primer are applyied. Tomorrow I'll spray two more heavy coats. The floor is also painted with semi-gloss black. Next step will be paint the wooden plan underneath the car.

The rear wing elements are also different, so I cut two pieces of styrene and glued them to the original parts. Some putty and sanding is needed before paint them with primer.

jaguar R01 -4

thanks to fuel*buzzed from the forum http://www.f1m.com/ (the people in this community are really great) yesterday I received the rims from a ferrari 2000 model. The F2000 rims are more similar to the jaguar rims than the mclaren ones. thank you very much again!

jaguar R01 -3

One of the differences beetween the mclaren and the jaguar is that this last one has two holes for the exhausts on the cowling.
I drilled the holes with a dremmel tool and sanded them to have a smooth finished.
I also scribbed the lines of the exhaust zone wich will be painted with flat black.

I also scatchbuilded the little wings on the sides of the cowling using 5mm styrene sheets.
Next step will be glue the sidepods and finally apply some white primmer prior to start the painting job.
