OSELLA FA1 WIP by Formula Kits!
Gentlemen, startup your engines! After this last sad weekend, without so much things to do because the surgery, I reflected on this unfortunate situation, I thought, I calculated and I think that carry on is the best way to bury this crap event at once.
We started here: http://www.f1m.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14947
I will show some pics of the WIP so far. The total is much than 80 pics. To me this is sufficient to clear the process. Forgive me about this horrible labels! I never did it before!
And this you already know:
When some setback happens you learn some lessons:
1 - unfortunately the world is full of cretins.
2 - you have more friends that you can imagine
3 - this forum is a bless!
4 - sometimes it´s necessary to slow down in your projects and review it because your eyes can betray you. I was inspecting the car, colecting and shooting the evidences of the unauthorized copying and I started to realize that body was terrible bended and with inumerous assymetries! How I couldn´t see that before! There was no other way... I disassembled it and started to fix all of that errors. I counted nearly 11 errors because it are all linked itself. Now fix will be so easy. But the best of all is I found a way to make all the 3 version of this car with only 1 mold. I´ll do this versions:
Finally I hope this post can serve to inspiring and help all the scratchers to find their own solutions in this segment of the hobby. My best regards to all!

That's nice to be seen.
The system used for the nose is really good.
What have you thought for different sidepods? Added PE panels?
