ferrari 126CK -04

The car is finished. The fujimi kit is really great and all pieces fit perfectly. I must say that they really did a good job with this model.












Next car will be the tamiya's benneton-ford B192 driven by Michael Schumacher in 1992. The B192 gave him his first GP victory.

ferrari 126CK -03

The decalling job has finished and the sliding skirts are glued in their place. I built the anti-roll bar and glued the front wing.
The rear wing is also close to be finished. Next step will be clearcoating with TS-13.
Some little wiring job is done and I also glued the kill-switch.

ferrari 126CK -02

I airbrushed the windshield with clear blue, and painted the interior of the cowling with white, and also started the decalling job.
Fujimi made a big mistake on the tyre decals. As you can see it says "michlin" instead of "michelin". I tried to send them a mail but I had no response. I also didn't like how looked the decals on the tyres.
I took the tyre letters template from the Renault R30b studio27's p.e. set and airbrushed the logos. I know that's not very accurate to the real car, but I'm more satisfied with this result than applying the wrong decals.
I also painted the right and left marks and airbrushed a light coat of matt black over the tyres.
Finally I glued the cowling to the body. Tonight I will work on the rear wing and also on the sliding skirts.

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.
