1/12 Mfh Williams FW11B Mansell,my fourth kit by Hiro

Post by acer709 »

Some progress on the Williams beauty.
Mainly on body I used Tamiya Ts sprays decanted and sprayed via airbrush.
The masking technique is a photocopy of the decals onto white paper the draw the pencil line and mask using different Tamiya tape.
It's so hot here the paint virtually dried in 15mins!
A little tidying up mainly around the yellow and the
Decals up next my favourite part,managed to get hold of the missing,"Barclays",from MSM.
I have checked and the,"Tactel" decal fits between the yellow,there is not much margin for error on this as Sennafan experienced.

Let's see how you deal with the black lattice decals for the radiator inlet. They should break fast. Anyway, be careful with these decals.

Can you post normal size pictures and not thumbnails? when I click on the picture in anticipation of seeing a normal size photo it takes me to image shack website instead then it is a circle jerk of clicks to get back to F1M. Next time I won't bother.

Looks great...always was a big fan of this car. No issues for me with the pics, they open ok in size and the return brings me back to the original post....I’m using an iPad so not sure if that helps.

Thanks Gents,am sorry for any issues with photo's originally used Photobucket until
they started the charging process and my account was full!
Imageshack is ok but am still learning,the links are bit different but bit when using an iPhone.
Am going to try and make photos a bit more enhanced please bear with me.
The kit is very good as you would expect from Hiro but had a bit of warpage on the rear wing end plates but can correct!
I think the subject is great and am building this to go with my
1/12 Williams Fw14B,and 1/12 Williams FW16.
I think probably I have a Williams fetish but really love the Mansell and Senna era!
Some progress on the wheels and tyres and then prepping of engine. 8)

For images posted to forums, I use Imgur.com. Free and easy to create links.

Once you've created an account, you link and direct image by copying the "BBCode (message boards and forums)" link option for the photo.

Apparently you don't even have to have an account to same an image there but I use an account, it's free.
