Studio 27 Benetton B186 for 2008 Group Build

[R.Wells]

As promised while I am waiting for the CF and Blue paint to arrive for the FW26 that I am building, I have taken some pictures of the B186 that I am building for the 2008 Group Build. I have about a month and a hlf to get this thing finished, and I am almost done.

Enjoy........

Good to see the real first Benetton !

Why would you need blue paint for this version ???

I thought you only need to paint it green and white. All the rest is decaling work, isn't it ?

[Jacques]

Sorrry I misread your first post...the blue paint is for the FW26.

Anyway...you can put blue paint on the wheels , and red and green

Wow, that is interesting.
When did Benetton paint their tires like that ?

[daniel]

yes....do paint the wheels, looks so cool

P.S. and when we wait ten years people who hate those green Japan tires will like them also

I painted the Front Wing, front suspension, seat, wheels, and inst. panel today. I just finished 1.5 hrs polishing the paint. There are a few "touch up" areas that I will need to do, but I hope to have this one finished by Wednesday.

Enjoy.....

Looking very good - what green paint did you use?

The paint is from "Trial and Error" painting company........


I mixed Tamiya Colors:

X-5, X-14, and X-28 until I got what I felt like was a good match.

It turned out pretty good for me being color blind.

I intended to have this one completed today, but the pictures that Jacques sent to me showed me a couple of things that I needed to correct on the paint scheme, and add to on the kit. Tonight I got the seat belts made, and I CF'd the Inst. Panel. I also painted a couple of areas on the body and undertray that needed to be green so that they were accurate. I will have to re-shoot the seat in X-18, and I will tackle the CF on the front and rear wings tomorrow.

Enjoy.....
