I appreciate (finally!) the large fotos, where the details are visible! The cooling boas don't disturb me so much, as do the visible mold lines and pin marks. Even in a pre-paint model, they should be sanded and re-painted. Also try to cover (or at least overpaint silver) the Phillips screw visible on the right collar. There is also a grey-white spot on the dashboard cover. Is it possible to eliminate it or overpaint it? Otherwise, it will be highly visible through the windscreen. Good continuation!
J'apprécie (enfin!) les photos de grande taille, où on peut voir les dé'tails! Les boas de refreidissement ne me gènent autant que les lignes et marques de moulage qui sont visibles. Même sur un modèle pre-peint elles devraint être éliminées et re-peintes. Essaie aussi de couvrir (ou au moins peindre argent) la tête de vis Phillips visible sur le collier de droite. Je vois aussi une tâche blanchatre sur le couvercle du tableau de bord. Est-il possible de l'éliminer ou de la peindre? Autrement elle sera très visible à travers le pare-brise. Bonne continuation!

thank you for your comments and encouragement.
I'm going to use George's method, which will cover the cooling circuit properly and give a better seal.
the white spot is the reflect of the ceiling light above the model ;-).
beautiful evening and happy national day tomorrow

Merci George. Sur le lien, il est mis que le téflon est difficile à peindre. Quelle est votre meilleure solution ? Merci |

Merci George. Sur le lien, il est mis que le téflon est difficile à peindre. Quelle est votre meilleure solution ? Merci A good primer is your answer. If I do it again, I seal the paint with matt varnish. Of course, make some tests before you use it on your model. Good morning  |

    hello, layout of the front radiator (sanding, satin black and silver paint) the last two photos show the boas as George explained to me I understood why some photos cannot be enlarged :-) they are sent from my phone to my email address, if they are sent in medium size we don't know how to enlarge them ;-) |

   the rear axle is mounted on the gearbox. I repolished the trees that left traces of mold I'm going to change the original brake fluid part with something more finished, I'm waiting to see the rest of the parts |

Nice the attention you give to the finishing faults, that unfortunately come on pre-painted models. I have similar problems with the Lotus. Good continuation!

 hello from the north I'm on the exhausts, it's very plastic, I'm obviously going to sand the joints but I would like to give them a "used" appearance: sienna color with a dry brush or something else? What do you recommend ? Winter is coming  |

Hi Thierry
Spray it from a distance of 60-70 cm with Tamiya Dull Red spray. It gives a nice imitation of rust on the black background. Don't exaggerate it... Good luck!
