ferrari 126CK -01

This is the next build, fujimi's 1/20 ferrari 126CK, and it will be a fast WIP because I'll do it curbside.
I started working on the monocoque, the dashboard and the steering wheel.
The seatbelts were build using KA models photoetched set.
The front suspension arms and brakes are built. I also attached the brake wiring to the arms.
I also workedon the engine. It still needs a blackwash to tone down the shine. I will put there some more wiring.
The monocoque and the engine were glued to the floor base.
First test fitting with the tyres. I really like those rain tyres, fujimi did a great job there. The car is looking very nice.
As you can see, the rear suspension arms and the brake ducts are also finished.
And one more test fit with the engine cover. Now I need to work on the wings, the wiring on the engine and polish and painting a final layer of red prior to decalling and clearcoating.

Hi,

Congratulations for all your buildings! They look really fantastic!
I have a question for you:
- What do you use for painting, spray cans or airbrush? The reason for my question is that I can see both spray cans and bottle of ink for airbrush in the pictures background.
Thanks to share your buildings.

Hi Guilherme,
thank you very much for your nice words!
I usually use spray cans to paint bigger pieces like the body and the floor base and the airbrush to paint all other ones. Since I started using airbrush I try to don't use brush anymore.
In the 126CK and 126C2 I only used spray cans to paint the body red, all other parts are airbrushed.
best regards!
