My 1st Formula 1 Kit almost completed, and really enjoyed it. More photos once the wheels, mirrors, etc are attached.

Looks great Steve, welcome to the the F1 addiction.

Mike

Looks stunning great paint job real clean work too

Wonderful job Steve!
What paint did you used? LOL No, really can you tell me exactly which red? :uhoh:

Loved the chamoise on the seat. Is it really that or some kind of paint technique?
Did you used tamiya decals? The white is very opaque.
Ok too much questions. I stop for now :wink:

Can't wait to see it finished.

Whoa! That paint job is just delicious!

The paint is......... Zero Ferrari Rosso Formula 1 (Pre-2004) (http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=985) followed with Zero 2 Pack Clear Coat.
The Carbon Fibre Decals are KA Models Type A (http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=82&products_id=1720)
The Decals/Tyre Markings are also from KA Models
The Seat Belt is Model Factory Hiro (http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=726), as is the seat covering which was (Adhesive cloth for seats - Beige MFHP916) (http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=47&products_id=650) stained darker with coffee.
Thanks for the nice comments.

Wow, great work Steve!

You will have to be more careful with the coffee Steve....lol Great idea on how to darken the seat. Excellent job mate..

I think it done now :)

Beauty!

Wow! What a beauty!
I loved it. Thanks for the reply on my questions.
Just a side note... doesn't the rear wing had a goodyear marking on the top? I think maybe you had missed it. :wink:

Bugger, always forget one, I'll get it on now, Thanks

Wow, really impressive model! You made it look perfect, I 'm quite jealous, but still, thanks for sharing her :)

woah, Steve. that paint job is something else! I am just adding all these bits you've used to my next order - I especially like the Hiro cloth. You planning another F1 build then?

That paint job is ridiculously smooth and shiny. Great work!!!

Alex

You planning another F1 build then?
Just starting work on the Jordan 191, firstly I've worked out all the paint colours to replace the decals. I'll start a thread soon.

Steve,

the carbon fibre work on the rear wing is flawless...looks better than the real car!

Awesome!

Superb job Steve,really looks very impressive.Nice carbon fibre work and fabulous paint job.I'm glad you're doing the Jordan colours as I have one in my kit stash.I was quite shocked when I saw your name and an F1 build.Hope it's the first of many.

Super work on this model especially the paint work. Like Rodrigo, I have been eating/drinking/sleeping F189 for a few weeks... and I am truly inspired.

You planning another F1 build then?

I think it will be a Williams FW07 as Hiroboy outbid me on eBay on one of them a couple of weeks ago :grinyes:
