The floor plan was decalled with sms carbon fiber decals.
As the decals are too much greyish, I airbrushed a mixture of 80% smoke+20% semigloss black to turn them darker. I like the final result.
I glued the front and rear wings.
Finally I glued the cowling to the body. I'll start the decalling job tonight.

Hey,
Why did you decided not to show the engine and glue the cover to the body?
Hi,
I have been following your project since the begining and it is going really well done.
Painting over the CF was a clever idea it looks much better after it.
But I have a question because I whant to build this kit in the future too:
Did you use CF on the wings too (the black side of the wings)?
Thanks to share your projects.

Hi Casper:
Before I start to build a model, I always think how it will be shown on the display case. Since I had some troubles taking off the cover in my lotus 99 and mp4/4, I never touch my models once they are finished. So, if I decide to show them closed, I never detail the engine (it won't be seen) and also because then it's difficult to have a good fitment. With the B192, I really love the scheme and that's the reason because I want to see it complete. Anyway, I must admit that it would be a very nice car to detail because it has a really great details on the engine.
Hi Guilherme,
Yes, the CF looks really better after some coats of smoke and semigloss black (80%+20%). I never tried it before and I'll do it always since now. And the pictures doesn't show the real effect wich is really really closer to the original CF.
About the wings, looking at all my reference pictures, it's easy to see that the floor plan was CF and the suspension arms not, but I had a lot of doubts about the wings. I have to tell you that I tried to put Hi-def. CF (from SMS) on the rear wing inside faces twice, but it didn't work very well and finally I decided to leave them painted with semigloss black.
oops. I missed some things....
casper: my next car will be the mp4/13 superdetailed ;).
I will use the top-studio detail set, wich is one of the best I have ever seen. I'll post a review of it soon in the blog.
ghilherme: I forgot to tell you that the rear faces of the white parts on the front wing and the under faces of the rear wing have Hi-def. CF decals. I also built the black line on the rear wing with Hi-Def. CF decals.
thanks to all!
