Pintura plata AUDI R10Once the body is ready, I give it a coat of Tamiya white primer to make the surfaces smooth, and sand gently with fine grit sandpaper to remove any defects that remain on surfaces and apply a coat of black primer Alclad 2 (ALC 305) before applying the silver reference Zero Paints ZP-1116 Audi R8-R10 TDi Silver Le Mans.

Pintura plata AUDI R10Regarding Zero Paints paint is awesome, covers very well even pulling very thin layers with the airbrush at an average pressure and once dry is very smooth and hard. No grain can be seen with the naked eye, which is appreciated in these metallic for scale reproductions.

Montaje alerón traseroPrepare the rear spoiler that will place before giving the final hand of primer.

It consists of several photoetched parts and resin parts forming the wing, which already have “lightened” opening the gap between wings.

Montaje alerón traseroSeveral photoetched parts to be bent to set the two side panels and sanded center supports, so once folded, solder edges of the pieces, and sanded to make them uniform.

 

Montaje alerón traseroWing mounted on the supports and … surprise, the Wing is too long, so I have to cut to two millimeters each side of the wing and reassemble them into brackets.

Once set, all pieces mounted and ready for primer.

Apertura de las entradas y salidas de aireThe vehicle has 6 inlets and 2 outlets, which in the model are blinded, so I proceed to open them. Initially I ask myself whether making photoetched parts to replace or use cutter and sandpaper to open and decided to use cutter and sandpaper … which was a mistake, because in making photoetched parts, open holes and mount opening took about 4 hours …. And open with cutter and sandpaper took me 3 days.

Detailling rear wing

Detailling rear wing

The rear wing is a piece of resin, with a base of copper wire which gives rigidity. The wing is divided into two parts, a rear, narrower and thinner than the front, which are joined by three holders and superimposed.

I open the gap between the wings and fill the many bubbles that brings the piece of resin.
