Toyota TS050

 

This one is done. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been stuck for weeks with the engine cover not fitting. Turned out I somehow screwed up the fit between the 2 "engine/gear box" pieces which screwed up everything. I had to go back and cut the 2 pieces apart. Now, it's just a matter of a slight bend in the floorpan.....always something. 

I knew from the start that this would be the annoying part....and it did not disappoint! The 2 decals on the drivers left went together well enough, but the right side gave me fits and a gap. I had to carefully airbrush that gap as brushing red on always comes out way darker, for some reason. 

 

Predictably, a microscopic gap between the red and black.....I can fix that. 

I spend 2 days trying to get this mask set up to paint the area red.....only to realize I haven't got the correct shade of red on hand! Bugger! I originally hit the top with TS49 for when the inevitable chipping happened with the decal but there's no way I'm flooding those masks with 49, it needs to be low pressure airbrushed on. Wait for that jar of LP50 to show up in the mail.......wait, wait, wait, wait 

 

Even with uncut "precut" masks, that butt end was a BIT of a pain. Thankfully I airbrushed this instead of using the can or who knows how much worse the mask leaks would have been.

Oh, the modern aero...
