More photos of the drivetrain coming soon. Meanwhile, the first tests with the body of the car. The use of the Top Studio kit sometimes requires a deep intervention in Tamiya parts...

I'm considering leaving bare factory carbon on some Tamiya components. It looks good in the photos of the eminent modeler. What do you think?

Excellent work on the engine. TS Engine and Brake sets weren't available when I built mine. :(
Rugby gets rid of the frustration!

The last picture is the williams by Rudi Lenaerts if I'm wrong. He also made the wing elements without carbon decals. He only brought out the structure with dry paint. So far you've done an excellent job.

I can't find out from him exactly how he did it... :(

It's actually a simple technique, it just takes practice. As far as I remember he painted it satin black and then very little gunmet with a flat brush. or a similar color painted the structure. Check out his build report on FB. He described how he does it.

I can't find the link, but I'll try somewhere on an invisible piece.
