Re: SPOILER!!!!!!!!!

In the current era, drivers no longer develop cars: they can't test. The team is responsible to give the driver the best car and service, and if the driver is an ace of the profession, chances are open for victories and championships. So the ball is now with Ferrari to kick to the goal or not. With ...

Re: 1/20 and 1/12 Seat Belt Sets - Test Prints / Misprints

Have you ever tried printing entire harnesses? Much like Airfix did with their Ford Fiesta ( in plastic, obviously). With shittier eyesight, threading hardware with ribbon is even more aggravating, but I wonder if printing the actual straps would be too thin/brittle? And you would have to design to...

Re: All the same red?

2010: TS-49 with slight pearl effect This one I've seen closely, and it was TS-8 with a very subtle pearl effect, so subtle that could be hardly noticed in a scale model. The 2011 F150, which I've seen too, was painted with the same red. I suspect the other Alonso's Ferraris kept the same color mix...

Re: BENETTON B186 from a B188 Anyone?

The main problem I see is that the nose is a lot shorter, and the suspension is closer to the cockpit by around 10cm in 1/1. I did a tool to build the 188's suspension from the outside, maybe could be used to move the suspension back a bit, but I just have one kit and the monocoque is already built.

Re: Will all cars' liveries eventually be carbon fiber?

Possibly use a color in the resin like they used to with the fibre glass bodies in th 60's/70's? And in the 80's, the blue and white Brabhams were still colored that way! Interesting though, because of the weight issue, seems that some F1 teams (McLaren and Williams at least) are now following what...
