Reini78 Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 After some pause, my dad started another F1 car. this time a Wolf WR1 from the British-Canadian team, owned by the Austrian-Canadian Walter Wolf. It´s the 2010 kit edition, including decals by Cartograf, PE and metal parts.

Redstaff Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 Be nice to see how this goes as I have one in the stash for some point Ian 1
nearsightedjohn Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 One of my all-time favorite F1 cars, I have fond memories of watching Jody swapping the lead with Mario and Niki in Long Beach in ‘77 (47 years ago!!!! OMG I’m old!!!!). Jody placed 3rd but brilliant drives by all three. When I built my 2010 kit with the box Cartograph decals, they suffered cracking, hopefully this won’t happen to you. I ended up getting replacements from IndyCals. Looking forward to watching your progress. 1
Reini78 Posted February 20, 2024 Author Posted February 20, 2024 slowly but steady gaining shape in some areas the kit shows its age, especially with the small parts where the molding halves are slightly shifted DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3

Vesa Jussila Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 Nice to see this done. Progress looks really good. 1
Reini78 Posted February 27, 2024 Author Posted February 27, 2024 decals didn´t work out as wished just didn´t lay down smooth although using several setting solutions ended up sanding them smoother and overpainting with Gunze H9 Gold the nose turned out good, but on the rest of the gold areas the surface isn´t that smooth and a bit grainy....

triumphfan Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 Looking good, neat bit of masking work there 👍 Is it just me or, do you not see a lot of the Wolf WR1's completed? Looking forward to more progress on yours. Atb, Steve.
Reini78 Posted March 4, 2024 Author Posted March 4, 2024 well, it didn´t turn out nice, so removed the paint and the decals underneath, masked and painted it again now the surface is a bit smoother DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 1
Reini78 Posted March 8, 2024 Author Posted March 8, 2024 aint job done and decals on although printed by Cartograf, they didn´t work as used to, had some more problems on the rear wing sides with some raised detail, some paint touch ups done, but the gold paint doesn´t match the decals exactly... also added some wiring/tubing to the rear DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 3
