Now it's time to prep the monster monocoque. This is one huge piece of resin and casting is very bad... and resin stinks too.. When I do the filing on the resin, I always submerge them into water to avoid toxin resin dust flying around..

Before I start, I drilled all holes for suspension arms and test fit ted them. Fitting is lousy as expected and a lot of bend and twists are needed.


I used 30 min epoxy glue to put together the monocoque piece, then put on Tamiya epoxy quick type putty to fill the huge gaps.


After heavy sanding, it looks like this.. I expect a lot of filling and sanding will follow...


Guys, MG stuff is really tough to build and their parts are pretty bad... I would recommend to avoid MG kit..

Finally got some time to work on the MG Ferrari. CFed front wing underside winglets and glued them on with krazy glue.

Next will be test all suspension arms, uprights and wheels onto the big resin body.. Then puttying and sanding on main body... priming, painting, polishing etc etc.... long way to go..

Trying out slide.com stuff. Seems interesting.

I spent the last long weekend to clearcoat and polish the wing parts. I put 3 layers of Gunze super clear II CL 184 and polished them with Tamiya compound and wax. So far the result looks pretty good. Originally I planned to spray 2 layers of clearcoat only, however, I oversprayed the 1st layer and it wrinkled the decal. Therefore I needed to put 1 more coat so that clearcoat can level out the wrinkle texture...

I put together the rear wing last night with 30 min epoxy glue. The fit of lower wing element is bad.. but as long as the gap on both sides are symmetrical, I will just let it go.
