Nice to know I was right for once about something I knew nothing about. Doesn't happen all that often anymore. At least that is what my wife says to me. Didn't think of looking it up on Wikipedia.

The F-1 Gearbox has been around since '89, and the 150 msec shift time is a ten year old specification, they are even faster today using dual shift to keep the power on completely throughout the shift, testing has showed that it is worth .3 seconds a lap faster time.....  They are 8 speeds not counting reverse and are being built in carbon fibre or CF backed metal.....

 

How they go about getting to constant power output through a shift are closely held race team secrets.... (double clutches would be the obvious choice to do this but are banned in F1)

 

Technology marches on.... How many out there realize that most passenger cars today feature 7 speed automatic transmissions? Most Semi Trucks use 8 speed allison automatics? To get a manual shift truck today from a manufacturer you have to request it, it's special order....

 

One more example where racing advances the engineering of our everyday car...

 

Here, everything you could could want to know about the current state of F-1 Transmissions.....

Gorgeous.  I've always appreciated models that respect the vehicle and the modeler by including details and subassemblies only someone experiencing the 1:1 or the modeler would know about.

Thanks Amos. Hope you are enjoying the build thread as much as I am in building the model. Tamiya has engineered a high quality model here.

 

Before the body panels are painted, they have been positioned for a dry fit. Everything looks like it's going to go together as smooth as silk.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends.

Got some painting on the body done today after some primer last night. Not much to show for photos yet. White primer and yellow paint. Once I get the clear laid on and the undersides painted semi gloss black, will take some photos. The primer is Tamiya white lacquer, the paint is a lacquer giallo modena. Clear will be Mr Color gloss lacquer.

Great paint. You should do a Corvette C6 racer. Similar yellow.

Have to admit I'm not a big fan of yellow as a car colour but just this once I'll change my mind!😀

 

Very well done.

A good friend painted all his race cars in yellow, a trade mark for him. He was killed while racing his sprint car 30 years ago. I have always loved yellow race cars.

Thanks Edward. I want to find a retarder that's suitable for Mr Color clear lacquer. It dries a little too quickly for my liking and could be better. There's a real fine line between too much and too little drying time for clear coats. Too fast causes orange peel. Too slow causes runs. Have to find that happy spot.

That's the one thing about Mr Color Clear Lacquers, finding just the right mix..... I've seen a lot of people have great success with 2K and 4K automotive diamond finishes though, if you don't mind dealing with automotive products...

 

The yellow paint look fabulous my friend, a real show stopper.....

Thanks gentlemen. 

My local airbrush/paint supplier used to carry the 2K Diamond clear paint system in a convenient hobby-size amount with a no-name label. They have been unable to restock it lately. Maybe because of Covid, I don't know. Unfortunately, my remaining bottles went bad, prematurely hardening inside the bottle. I have another automotive 2-part clear system I bought but have not tested it yet and didn't want to chance it on a good model. Will test it on something junk, first. 

I mixed my clear about 50-50 with leveling thinner, but It needs more thinner next time. Probably 60% or more to really get it to level itself.

Just an FYI...

 

Seems the "sweet spot" for reducing the Mr Color clear lacquer for the airbrush is 30% clear to 70% reducer. 50% just isn't enough. At 70% reducer, the clear goes down beautifully. You'll see in the next post with photos, probably tomorrow.

 

In these photos, I have painted the undersides of the body panels with semi-gloss black, then wet sanded the body in preparation for the next coat of clear (which I've already done but am not ready to handle yet for photos).
