Bai,
Good work there man! I love the interior. Simple but the combination of colours are good and clean. I do agree with you that white is a very difficult color to accomplish. Same goes with yellow too. Any dust and impurities will show. I have already been planning a F430 Challange in White too. Maybe next few months I will start on thsoe. Keep post bai! Kenneth |

Bai,
The modeler's 2000 compound is good but if you try using the tamiya fine compound then the finishing compound accordingly after the modeler's 2000. You will even see that it gives you better shine and clearity in you reflections. Go and try it. |

kenneth,
i did do that~ but in a different order to what you mentioned. this time, i tried our a few new things in polishing, first of all i sanded away the orange peel and followed up all the way to 3000 grit sand paper, then i went straight to tamiya fine compound, then 2000, then finishing, and finally i used tamiya polising wax to finish off. im really happy with the f40 now, but more work required on the 430 i guess. thanks for the tip buddy |
