F2007- 09

F2007 is finished!

Finally I didn't use the 2K clearcoat as I'm still waiting for a new airbrush. So I clearcoated the car using TS-13 from Tamiya.

The next builds will be two lotus 79 (martini & rebaque versions).

F2007- 08

The decal job is finished!

Now I'm working on the brakes and I'm waiting to have some nice weather to airbrush the clear coat....

I really love the livery of this car!

F2007- 07

I started to apply the CF decals. I also masked the body to paint a mist coat of flat black to the places where the CF decals are applied to tone down the grey color.

The flat black is painted over the CF decals on the inner faces of the rear wing plates. I really like how they look.
I also glued all the body parts before start the decal job. The fit of the parts is better than I thought.....
And finally I started the decal job and glued the front wing parts. Hope to finish it soon......

F2007- 06

After some tedious masking job, I painted the black parts of the body. Now it's time to start the work with CF decals on the suspension arms....

F2007 -05

And finally the clear red is airbrushed. Now I'll wait some days and then I'll sand the surface and start masking to paint the black parts.

F2007- 04

I glued all the little wings and mirrors to the body.

As the F2007 will be curbside I also glued the cowling to the cockpit. Doing in that way, there will be no different shades of colors.

All parts are painted with primer.

There have been too much discusions on how to paint the late f2007. I will use a mixture of titanium gold + clear red over it...

It's curious to see a ferrari in gold.... but I must admit that I like it! in a few days I'll airbrush the clear red.

F2007 -03

After some months I worked on the F2007 again...The fujimi kit has the lower part of the copckit in one single piece and I cut it to separate the nose part.

Both parts of the nose cone where glued and I drilled the hole in the front but I didn't like the result I had....

So I filled the hole with epoxi and sanded hardly until I get a smooth surface.

Then I started the work on the body. I glued all the parts, filled the gaps, sanded and now they are ready to paint.

F2007 -02

The wheels are finished. I used tyre logo decals, two layers of gloss clear (one before applying the decals and one after), one layer of matt clear and a thin layer of matt black.

The seat is also finished. I used a KA seatbelts p.e. set. Today I will start to work on the body of the F2007.

F2007 -01

This is the 1/20 fujimi kit, and I will try to build it at the same time with the F60. It will be curbside too and I'll try to build the late season version, the one with the metallic red.

I started working on the wheels. In 2007 the soft wheels had a line painted in white, so I started masking the tyres.

It's done! next step will be apply the logos and start working on the body.
