Re: 1/20 fittipaldi F6 -ACE
Thanks Alex!
I finished with the body decaling. Not so bad but some silvering around the "copersucar" decal. I used the second set of decals to get whiter letters. These white decals are a bit translucide.
I am now close to the final assembly, that´s good!!!

After many minor modifications, i believe ( i hope) i have reached my goal. It is really hard to work with transparent parts, hard to estimate if fit is good or not.... Painting will tell me !!!!!

Re: 1/20 fittipaldi F6 -ACE
There is something quite strange with this kit, ACE gives no information regarding the seat. Is there one or not? Reference pictures are not useful regarding this question.... The cockpit looks too yellow for me, so i decided to add a seat, a vacuformed one now i have a master and i can produce as much seat as i need!!!! Yesterday, i found on the bay a picture which clearly indicates that i am right with the cockpit (windscreen shape, seat), i am happy !!!!
