I started this kit in September 2009, but I had some interruptions and shelved it for a while. The kit is being built straight out of the box and will represent the car as it was at the German GP. The only addition will be decals, mostly in the form of composite patterns.
The headers were cleaned up and painted, including shading, as individual pieces, then assembled and the seams addressed and blended. Tamiya lacquers (base color) and acrylics (shading/staining) were used.
The airbox is mostly covered with C/F decals. Some additional shading was done with Tamiya Smoke.
The transmission color was mixed per the instructions with acrylics. However, the engine block was shot with a very dark gray instead of black. It will be "adjusted" as the build progresses.
