2019 Menards Dallara Chevy Indy 500 Winner - Simon Pagenaud

Post by chaparral2k »

I started working on this years Indy 500 winner using my own Multi-media resin kit I sell on my website
https://hobbitime.myshopify.com/product ... ycar-model

or ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-1-25-2019- ... SwopZc83ij


Image

This year the cars have the Advanced Frontal Protection
Image

I traditionally like to glue on as many parts as I can to avoid glueing issues after the paint is applied.

Image

I used Krylon Fluorescent Yellow

Im currently applying Indycals Pannel lines

and Scale Motorsports 1/24 Hi-Def Carbon Fiber

Im using Solvaset Decal Solution to melt the decals to the curved surfaces with ease.

You can buy a 1/25 2019 Dallara Kit here at my Store

I used Krylon Yellow Fluorescent Paint - 11 oz. Aerosol for the paint job

and Indycals just came out with the decals for this kit that you can buy here

Very tempting indeed. As to the Krylon paint, do you plan to clear coat, and with what? I tried Krylon "gloss" emerald green for a Jordan 191 per Michael's suggestion, but couldn't get a shiny finish even with multiple coats of Mr. Color clear spray can.

Yes, I plan to use Model Masters clear lacquer and see how it goes.
I will apply the decals afterwards and then do another clear coat over the decals.
But I'm very happy with the Krylon Flo Yellow.

I used Testors Lacquer clear coat over the Krylon Fluorescent Yellow with no issues. I wanted to give the body some clear as the Kylon is somewhat of a semi-flat paint and I wanted to make sure the decals had a proper smooth surface to adhere to. If I tried to apply the decals over a dull-flat surface it would look bad and the clear edge of the decals would be foggy looking.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. This "body" style looks way better than F-1. (Never thought I'd ever say that) What color red did you use for the mirrors?

This kit looks great, and the Indycals as usual are very well done! How much clean up/prep work did you do before painting? Is this a quick/demo build? To my eye, it looks like the area around the cockpit, and the areas painted black need to be cleaned up a little but I can already see that this kit has a lot of potential, and fills a pretty big hole in the modern open wheel kit market.
