hi,

i wonder how many magazine & the cost for this unit. Not a bigger fan of f1, but it look awesome.

85 issues @ RM$9.90 for the first issue, RM$19.90 for the second and RM$29.90 for the rest. Total $2,511.50 for all.

wooo RM 2511.50 for the car.

Where did u do this casing? I am looking for a display cabinet. But this looks good.

Hi ckshieh, do you find the engine cover cant fit in well with the rear wing cover, if wana fit nicely then the front engine side cant cover properly, if engine side wana cover properly then the back cant cover nicely with the rear wing. u face this problem? any solution?

akimi7,

I suggest you to upload pic.

Ya, same issue with me, either way, I dont think there is a solution to this if you want to let the cover remove to show case. I have search thru the internet, some site did provide some guide on this issue but doesn't seem like able to solve.

For me, just let it be, try to arrange as much as you could with the rear engine cover and hope the gap won't be too great.

If you really feel "heart pain" seeing the gap, use super glue and settle them once and for all.

collinjn81, I think i know what he is saying, no worries. This issue happen to a lot of people.

Mine is:
Length -> 66cm
Width -> 28cm
Height -> 28cm

The frame cost is RM170

You can ask those shop which got do for photo frame, example, you bring a photo or picture (big size) then they put on a frame based on your photo and put a glass in front to cover, those kind of shop.

Display cabinet good provided your place is big enough to place the display cabinet. For me, even this display case, I have difficulty to put. hahaha.

Got the last issue # 85 but not yet putting on all the decal. Not sure if really need the decal softener or not as it will be hard to get from KL or PJ as not many hobby shop carry them. Went to 1U tamiya and ask, no stock, and don't know when will come, said is 3 weeks time

Search from the internet, look like can use clear vinegar to replace this decal softener, anyone try before?

This is what I have so far:



You see, from the top, the engine cover gap between the body isn't that bad. Of cause if you see from the side, haha, all the ugly will come out. PS: Taken the photo via my Samsung S4 under a low light living room condition, not bad eh?

Hi ckshieh...yes really feel abit paint when see the gap especially for modeller like us looking for perfection. It's really a discount for the money we spent. I thk i just focus on the front engine cover side coz the rear wing side not so obvious. Or else i will try use hot water air steam and stick it for a while until the shape bend like suggested by US forumer. As for the decals, ya quite hard to find softener in malaysia, i just use plain water. so far so good for my carbon decals suspension.

erm, does anyone have Allscript's contact number? They seem to have changed it. Calling to see where my last few issues are.

These were the numbers I tried not that long ago:

603-80207112/7122/7312

Ya, I know what you mean specially when we look back how much we spent for this model. I don't think the hot water air steam will help based on the thickness of the material in this car. But if you do success doing so, let us know? Those for the carbon decal is still ok, I am worry about the front wing "long" and bend decal on the nose. That one from the look, won't be enough for just plain water as you can see the nose is really round in shape.

Some photo taken during last 2 days when I still working on the decal. Now, only the nose decal don't dare to put in without the decal softener. Will post some photo later on.

looks good... i m stuck at issue 84 for a month now. still waiting for the right time to apply the decal. need to have plenty of time if not RM29.90 will be burnt.

Manage to get the decal softener from Tamiya Underground located at 1Utama new wing, but the result not so satisfy. The decal isn't really soften enough (didn't manage to take a photo to show).

Just to take note, the nose con decal is very tricky to put on as it will roll into a con shape if you don't have enough "water" around it and also on the plastic surface. It takes me almost 15 mins to align and still got it out of balance a bit.

Hi where to get decal softener? im done till issue 84...now wana do the final decal finishing on the decals. already give up on the engine cover issue. I thk the front nose round part will be the tricky one as i foresee it will pop up on the round area...any advice?

[attachmentid=3460136][attachmentid=3460138][attachmentid=3460139][attachmentid=3460140]Here are some of my work to shock sendiri,,u can see there is still a gap on the engine cover.

Same here even you can't see, doesn't mean they are not there. Finished but still can be better in many areas.
