After opening the product package, take out all the parts bags and the car body. Since the product may be damaged during transportation through the logistics company, you must first check whether the parts are defective. The Apillar of the car shell is more easily damaged. , brake calipers, wheel rims and other small parts. After confirming that the parts are not damaged, please check whether the etched sheet is bent and damaged and whether the water sticker is stained. After confirming that all standard items are normal, you can start the preparation work for production

Unbox
haModel's products have precise mold opening, especially in the production technology of car casings. The car casings have precise shapes, smooth surfaces without burrs and shrinkage, deep engraved lines, and sharp edges. These features greatly reduce the difficulty of production and are very suitable for Newbie.

Car body treatment

First, observe various parts of the car shell. Generally, there will be some unevenness at the bottom of the side skirts. You can first use sandpaper to polish and level it. After making sure there are no problems such as missing flesh, use a 0.15mm caliber scoring knife to deepen the scoring. Although the car The engraved lines on the shell itself are relatively clear, but we need to manually deepen them again. This is to make it more three- dimensional after the production is completed. We can also consider not bleeding the lines and using natural shadows to show the texture of the engraved lines

When carving, you need to pay attention to the intensity from light to heavy. First, gently draw 2 knife along the carving line, and then slowly apply pressure; at the arc position, you can use the elbow hook knife to deepen the carving line. If there is no hook, Line knife, when using a straight- edged scoring knife to deepen, do not carve out of bounds to avoid more trouble, and pay attention to the angle of the knife head, do not carve the curved score line into a straight line.

Preassembly

Use nozzle pliers to cut off the nozzle of the part bit by bit. Do not cut off the entire nozzle at once to avoid missing flesh. Assemble the polished parts according to the part number in the instruction manual. Alphamodel's mold opening is very precise, and every part They can all be assembled directly, with perfect fit and reasonable spout position. In addition, the plain assembly can also let players know the order of some parts during the assembly process, so that they will not install the wrong parts during the final assembly.

In the process of polishing the nozzle and the element assembly, be careful not to use excessive force to cause damage to some very small parts. The parts are easy to fall apart when clamped with tweezers. Parts that are not easy to clamp can be assembled with a dispensing pen. The adhesive used in the plain group can use blue butyl glue.

Color

I chose plate spraying for the etched film. First, I used masking tape to cover the parts that did not need to be painted, and then used 800-grit sandpaper to polish the parts that needed to be painted. Before painting, I used Gunshi SF287 water to make the base. When spraying, be careful not to spray too thin. Use an airbrush to sweep and spray in multiple layers, allowing the paint particles to adhere to the surface of the part layer by layer. Wait for it to dry before spraying the topcoat. I used Gunshi for the brake disc retainer. C28 (black iron color), I used Gunji C33 (matt black) for the cab floor mats, and C92 (semi-gloss black) for other parts. Some parts such as the shift paddles need to be affixed with carbon fiber stickers, so they must be Use black as the base. As for the gloss, you don’t need to choose, because after applying the decals, you need to spray a layer of clear paint to unify the gloss.

Internal components

The air-conditioning outlets can be sprayed in semi-gloss black (Gunshi C92) to form a natural contrast with the carbon fiber of the instrument panel, which can improve the look and feel.

Be gentle when applying carbon fiber stickers to the rearview mirror to avoid damaging the parts with excessive force.

The carbon fiber water sticker on the back of the seat needs to be pasted carefully. If you feel that the irregularity of the curved surface makes it difficult to paste, you can cut it in advance and then splice each piece together.

The seat belt can be replaced with a 2mm woven tape, and the prancing horse logo on it can be affixed according to personal preference by choosing a third-party decal.

The rim is primed with bright black, and then sprayed with tungsten steel color. During the spraying process, multiple layers of thin spraying are required. Pay attention to the changes in color to avoid color difference

After the carbon fiber decals were applied to the diffuser, I sprayed a layer of silicone-based varnish on the surface according to the gloss of the real car. This varnish is thinner than amino varnish, and it can also achieve a mirror effect after it is completely dry, but The disadvantage is that it cannot be polished or repainted, so it requires higher spraying techniques.

Body shell

Matte black (C-33) is used on the inside of the car shell to improve the look and feel.

Since black decals have an irregular curved surface, be sure to use a decal softener to soften them when posting them, and then set them before applying them in water.

The interior of the front grille is matte black

Final assembly & completion

The air intake grille at the bottom of the front of the car needs to be compared in advance and bent at a small angle. Alphamodel is accurate in mold opening, and you only need to compare the slots. When dispensing glue, it is recommended to use jelly-like instant glue for bonding. Pay attention to the amount of glue. Control; you can use colorless and transparent UV glue for the headlights. Even a trace amount of glue overflow will not be visible. Just wait for the position to be adjusted and then use the ultraviolet lamp to solidify
