Re: Tamiya 1/12 FW14B with full Top Studio set
The beginning of work on the body. I cut off the nose of the car and temporarily installed Top Studio frames. I think the #2 gap will be acceptable once the tape is removed. I will try to adjust the elements so that the gap No. 1 is as little visible as possible (there will also be a strip of decals on the edge). Otherwise, you would have to assemble the interior of the cockpit before painting the body. I made an attempt to revive the Tamiya factory structure. I used Ushi powder (upper element). I think I will use these factory structures because they look realistic. In other elements I plan to use Scale Motorsport decals. The carbon visible in the photos of the main body is plastic painted with LP satin and Mr Hobby satin varnish. After masking, the rest of the body will be painted again with ZP primer and paints.

We have 98% of the engine. You can now mount it to the rest of the car. The rest that doesn't exist...

Continuation of work on the body. I painted everything yellow first, so that there would be no differences in shades later.
Exhaust system.
All Zero Paints.

I don't show it because my level of modeling is high. Quite the opposite... I want to draw attention to the richness of the Top Studio set. Everything here is from them. Except for carbon decals.

Great work - it really inspires me to get a move on with mine.
Did you manage to find a source for the carbon fibre decals, or have you made your own?

Thank you for your reply.
I assume that means that you bought sheets of Scale Motorsport decals and then cut them to size - I'm lazy and had been looking for a set of pre-cut decals like Studio 27 and Scale Motorsport produce for a number of other cars.
