Finally after much sanding and filling the monocoque is painted. Couple coats of flat white and so far one coat of bright red. Putting on a second coat this morning and then let it sit ready for decaling. Gotta get the correct M@rlb0r0$ for it as the Tabu set I do have is wrong and don't have all th...

More Carbon Fiber decal finished. I still need to do the bottom of the 2 upper airfoils on the front wing. Should have that done tomorrow or the next day. After this I will do up the spill plates for the front wing and then it's ready for Urethane clear. This carbon fiber work is tedious lol. I had ...

Just something I am throwing together. No extra detail other than paint and decals. Figure I have enough models to build that I don't need to super detail them. Got a bit over zealous in the gluing/filling of the body panels so I have to re scribe the panel over the seat. I got one side done already...

I do not know if they make internal threading tooling that small, you may have to see if you can find a tap and gently tap your part. Since it it so small and obviously holding nothing major except maybe a model together you can make the i.d. a bit bigger which would make it easier to tap. You could...
