it's my first Studio 27 kit and the first resing kit I ever build. I'm also building a 1/12 934 but had to start a S27 anyway. Heard so many good and bad things that I really wanted to try one...and I love the old M@r!b*r* Macs.
now here we got...
the usual S27 kits, resind and a lot of metal. resin casting is amazing, nearly no flash and bubbles
decals are perfect so is the etching
ok, not everything is perfect, these metalblocks will not be used !
these two parts don't fit to well. I don't understand why it's not cast in one part !?!...I used heavy tools, a benshgrinder to remove around 1mm from every side of the metal part
the enginge needed a lot of pressure to make it fit all together
well, the fit of parts is not perfect here, so a little platicard is neede to extend the fin
the front suspension has to be cut from the middle part because I wanted to glue that to the underbody and "putty" it in to have one piece
another problem. I hated the look of the "plug-in" suspension...not good
ok let's make a cover for the front suspension...
now everything is covered with putty including the part I cut from the front suspension (left)
now that is looking much better, it looks like the upper bodypart covers the suspension..I like it
most of the filling and sanding is done....I neede some very coarse paper ta get it all to level up. But I'm sure the first layers of filler will show more imperfections.
so far I really like the feeling of resinmodels, stay tuned for more.
I have a few questions, well I guess I found the answers in abook but maybe you know better.
-the support of the rearwing is that aluminium color ?
-does the upper body cover behind the driver bend inwards . I only have one pictures where it looks a little bit like it does, but only on the C models the othe M29 do have straight sides
more to come...
