Murcielago R-SV Blancpain -WIP

1
September 25, 2024
It always starts with washing...
2
September 25, 2024
Because most parts are splitted, panel-lines only exist where they are marked.
3
September 25, 2024
There was a lot of shrinkage in several places, so a lot of sanding work was required.
4
September 25, 2024
The muffler was removed of its plating and thinned down.
5
September 25, 2024
Since I had to paint it in two-tone black/white, I first painted the white surfacer, and painted the wheels with 'Tamiya Dark Iron'. I painted the gold with 'Gaianotes Starbright Gold', but I don't like the color. 🙁
6
September 25, 2024
Looking at the parts to be painted black, the side mirrors have no attachment pins or holes and no indication of where they should be attached.
7
September 25, 2024
The doors are movable, I was 100% sure they would detached during assembly, so I installed attachment pins.
8
September 26, 2024
Masked it to paint it black.
9
September 26, 2024
Painted black surfacer. (body shell too)
10
September 26, 2024
And painted gloss black.
11
September 26, 2024
Painted AK Super Chrome to air funnel.
The gold color kept bugging me, so I repainted it with GSW's gold color.
I'm happy that it's the 18k gold color I wanted.
12
September 26, 2024
The ceramic brake discs are painted in No.5 carbon color. I think it's the perfect color.
13
September 26, 2024
Masked once more.
14
September 26, 2024
I painted Stainless Silver, Flat Aluminium.
15
September 26, 2024
Then I painted Burnt Iron after last masking.
And painted Gloss Black for paint carbon pattern.
16
September 26, 2024
I painted carbon pattern with stocking.
The center fascia is a mess, but I'll ignore it since it won't show up well once it's done. Other parts have a slightly good pattern.
17
September 27, 2024
This pattern is not a bad quality, but since it is an important exterior part, I don't think it can be used as is.
18
September 27, 2024
Wased with thinner.
19
September 27, 2024
In the end, I had no choice but to use carbon decals.
20
September 27, 2024
It took a long time because I was trying to glue it as a single sheet.
21
September 28, 2024
I only applied the carbon decals to the top of the wing.
22
September 28, 2024
Only the vertical plate on the back part had a carbon pattern, so I masked it and painted it, but the pattern didn't come out evenly, so I did the carbon wrapping again. This time, I used Hasegawa sheet instead of decals.
23
September 28, 2024
The Kevlar pattern on the back of the seat also uses Hasegawa sheet.
24
September 28, 2024
Now I'm trying to put the decal on and I found a mistake in the instructions.
It's designated as #25 overall, but the decal with the number on it is for #24.
25
September 28, 2024
I found another mistake.
This time the number was correctly assigned, but the picture was drawn as car #24.
26
September 28, 2024
Anyway, I applied all the decals. The quality of the decals was very good, so I had no stress at all while working.
27
September 28, 2024
And I painted Gloss Clear.
1st. coat: UV Cut Clear.
2nd, coat: Super Clear.
28
September 29, 2024
I sanded it down to remove the decal steps. (no need polishing with compound)
29
September 30, 2024
Coated GSI super smooth clear(matt).
30
September 30, 2024
Painted with paint brush.
31
September 30, 2024
The only polished part in this kit is the side mirror. The paint cracked while polishing it. It wasn't worn down by sanding, it just cracked off.
So I sanded the entire top surface again.
32
September 30, 2024
I repainted it from scratch. I need to apply two more coats of glossy clear.
33
September 30, 2024
Ready to asselble.
34
October 1, 2024
Most car kits start with the engine, but this kit starts with the drivetrain.
35
October 1, 2024
Assembled V12.
36
October 1, 2024
The kit does not include seat belts, nor are they printed on the decals.
So I made this using the etchings and marked line tape I had. This time I made the shoulder straps in two pieces.
37
October 1, 2024
Done. The belt of real car is probably a 6-point belt, but the etching I had was only 5-point.
38
October 1, 2024
I lengthened the runner and wrapped it around the clip.
What I use this for...
39
October 1, 2024
I used it for this purpose. Does it look good?
40
October 2, 2024
Interior done.
41
October 2, 2024
Inner parts done.
42
October 2, 2024
I attached the mesh to the back frame.
Nylon mesh is easier to glue with glue that feels slightly sticky after hardening, like wood glue, than regular glue.
43
October 2, 2024
Be careful not to get any glue on the hinge area.
44
October 2, 2024
I have assembled the front bumper.
45
October 2, 2024
Assembly of the wings was a bit tricky as they had to be secured so that they remained vertical, horizontal and parallel.
46
October 2, 2024
While trimming the inner glass of the tail lamps, two of them slipped out of my hands.
Strangely, when that happens, they disappear without a trace.
So I had no choice but to duplicate them with the remaining two.
47
October 2, 2024
Anyway, I assembled rear parts.

Thanks George. As expected, the quality of Cartograf decals is top notch 🙂

This looks great! Decals look like painted on.
I really should start sanding down the gloss coat/decals like you did. In your comment you've written that no polishing is necessary. Will you just apply snew gloss coat over top after cleaning it a bit more?

Thanks Robin.
Llivery of this car is matt 😉 the reason for sanding is that removing the step in the decal, even on a matte surface, creates a smoother curved surface.
