So today again an update ... no standstill in the background :D

I've been studying the wings.
Since the rear wing in the kit is only available without the additional side wings and it also looks disastrous :roll: - the thicknesses just don't fit or details are missing - I decided to make everything new. :lol:
I cut out the side sheets from 0.2mm aluminum sheet. The main elements are thicker, so I made these from 0.8mm sheet.
I also made the sides of the front wing from aluminum sheet. The inner elements got redesigned.

To model the 3D parts, I used Modely F1 (thanks again to Rado for the support and the provision of the data in the correct scale!!). :D :D :D
The paper templates are simply great and allow an exact measurement and comparison with images and the original.
Simply great, that saved me a lot of time and I was able to read in the data for the CAD implementation. :wink:

I also continued to work on the cockpit and implemented the finished 3D print parts.
The shift linkage comes from the FW07. With the data from Rado, I also implemented a few sheet metal covers from the cockpit in 3D print parts.
I will now take another look at the springs and pedals and then the cockpit area should actually be finished. :mrgreen:

You are taking Kawai's lump of clay and turning into a beauty. I really love your work on the rear wing!
The use of paper model as a template is an excellent idea.

The finished rear wing will take a moment, because I first had to create a new basic body and also have to print it first...
So let's see if everything works like expected ;)

At the top are the two wing elements, then the side surfaces below and on the left the middle bracket and the struts to the gearbox. Terrible!! :lol: :lol:

That rear wing is a work of art in itself.
