The color separation of the nose wingis more important After spraying themain color in the middke, you need tomask alng the engraved lines on bothsides and the font, and then sprayblack.Of course, the back is also black.During the masking process, it isrecommended to use a pen knike to cutalong the engravedd lines to ensuresmooth lines.Because the spoilers onboth sides have height differences,after cutting the masking tape, you canuse a very fine pointed cotton swab torepeatedlly compact the masking paperat the difference to avoid paint leakage The Halo part also needs to beseparated by color. Use a penknife to cut the masking tape, andthe top part can be covered witha curved masking tape.Theoverall difficulty is not great, but itrequires more patience.Since thesurface of the Hal is an iregularcumvee,you must constantyobserve it during masking to avoidthe masking tape from lifing upand missing paint. If there is paintleakage after spraying black,rework and repair will be required,which will waste a lot of time,which will not be worth the loss.
Microscale Ml-1 and Ml-2 can beused in the process of laminatingthe decal. Ml-1 is adhesive toincrease the stickiness of the decal.and Ml-2 is a softener. Applying thesoftener on complex curvedsurfaces can increase the ductilityof the decal and better fit the parts.Since the Alphamodel decal hasstrong stickiness after being heatedby a hot air gun, the position mustbe carefully adjusted before heating.Use a cotton swab to gently squeezeout the water, and then use a hot airgun to heat and soften it.

In addition,when installing theetched sheet,besure to payattention to theamount of glue usedto avoid a argeamount of glueoverflow.
The more difficult parts havebeen made,and then you canassemble them one by oneaccording to the instructions.As for the coloring of otherparts,players can match thecolors with the photos of thereal car. In this work, I usedGumze (-28 gunmetal color forthe brake caliper,C78metallic black for the rearexhaust pipe,and semi-glossblack and matte black forparts such as suspension andchassis.After installing the frontswing arm,you can apply theD-18 decal.
After assembling all the partsexcept the wheels,you can useTamiya 87131 black seeping 1iquidto seep the engraved ines on thecar. It is worth noting that I didnot spray varnish to make the carspaint surface achieve a glossymirror effect in this production.Therefore,the paint surface mustbe made verysmooth to be able tocompletely wipe off the driedexcess seeping liquid. If thesurface is rough and granular afterspraying the main color paint,itwill not only lose its basic glossbut also allow the seeping liquidto remain in various and very tinygrooves, which will be difficult towipe off with a cotton swab. Inother words,because the mirrorvarnish is very smooth,the dustand excess paint on its surfacecanbe easily removed,while the excesspaint and dust on the surfacewithout varnish will becomedifficult to remove,and it will beeasier to make the car dirty, whichwill greatly reduce the appearanceIf you want to control the qualityof the paint surface,you need tobe very familiar with paint,spraying techniques and othertechnlgues.
