As i received my first shipment this week (the abo is just starting in Austria), i couldn`t resist and start the build immediately.

So here are my fist pictures:

What a huge model this will be!

I like the idea of putting the marlboro decals on the rear wing before assembling it. I was going to wait and do them all at the end but I think that the rear wing will be a lot easier to do before assembling.

Hi DaDokta

Essentially your placing a black decal on a black surface hence all the fine line detail is blending into the back ground so to speak.
therfore to highlight the decal fine lines, a lighter shade would need to be painted onto the suface of the part before applying the decal.

That's a good point Dan, I'll bear that in mind too BigGrin .

I've bought the Museum Collection decals as well and was considering what to do next. I'm slightly in a muddle over this as I'm minded to apply aircraft modelling procedures here as well.

When applying decals to a model aircraft, I'd normally lay down a coat of Future acrylic (Johnson's Klear Floor polish) which will protect the decals/paint layer already present and give the new decals a nice smooth surface to "settle" down on. A further coat of Future would then seal the whole lot in and provide a nice glossy, hard as nails finish to the body work.

Would you agree that this will work with this model as well??

Thanks,

Grant.

Hi Grant

Sorry to run on your thread DaDokta

As the finish of the MP4/4 is glossy already, i would apply the "sponsor" decal straight on! then run a clear coat to seal, but for the carbon decal (if you have these) a base coat of colour (be it gun metal, silver or gold etc) to help them stand out would need to be applied. then a suitable clear coat, matt satin or gloss.

for the most part i would suggest just adding the sponsorship decals if you want your model to emulate the car that we all know was one of the most fantastic cars to ever race.

regards
Dan

Finally i could finish the rear wing!
The first time i applied the decals, i destroyed all the work in the end. I applied a coat of varnish over the decals - but the end part of the wing has decals on both sides. I turned the part over too soon and the varnish together with the decal on one side stuck with the cardbord i do my spraywork on.
So i had to reorder another set of decals and start over again!

What some brilliant detail in these modelling parts. Nice to see your adding your own stamp on the kit I bet you will end up with a stunner of a model

Looks great. The inking really adds to the detail. I haven't started building mine yet, just saving the parts up Laugh

Steve, i didn`t have any trouble building this shipment. It was the work of about 80 minutes.

Much too little to do and then wait for a month again - if you ask me! :)

Cheers,
