Just a little update. I have found the yellow goodyears for front and back wing. They were kindly given to me by a good friend. The frontwing is yet to become clearcoated and polished. I've started to decal the hole car, but there is a problem with rear side bodywork. I have to respray them because the paintwork came of when polishing some dust :cry: . Anyway, this is the nosecone with the frontwing.

After looking at the bardgeboards I wasn't happy with them. Since I couldn't manage to secure the outdated set from ST27 in wich there were a new set of bardgeboards, I decided to make them myself. So I started working with some K&S 250 brass (.005x4x10). After some bending I could solder the topside to the bardgeboard. It came out ok :o .

Untill next time, ciao

Thanks guys for all your kind comments. Let me tell you that your comments are an inspiration for me and keep me going. At the moment I have little time to spent on the model. I have to keep it up as october is closing in very fast now. I must finish it by then. So... next week I'm planning to spent much time to get the Ferrari decalled and clear coated and after that it's engine time :D . I'll keep you all posted.

After 4 months I'm ready to restart the building of the F310B. As you have noticed I didn't make the deadline for the modelshow, so perhaps I will enter it next year. This WIP is BACK!!!

very very nice....for the CF templates I would suggest taping them of the backside of the decal...ok they are sideways but 99% of the parts are the same left and right, so you could switcht them

???...got it :-)

Great work so far!

What brand of CF decal was it that you used on the front wing?
