SRX8

I cut masking with bee hive template. I copy template from my daughter math text. Many beehives are pasted like this.

I got up early this morning. I have to do many things. I had repaired my daughters iPhone display. And I had pasted body masking. And then I will go to Kolkata India in afternoon for my business. I wash Assassin body with kitchen cleaner. What a narrow cabin assassin is. I cut masking as same design as silencer. Time up I have to go airport.

Total weight is 3431g. I want to be 3300g order. I can shave weight only about radio tray. Silencer body is perfect fit for dnx8. I cut side of body little under from line. There is clearance for engin control rod.

It's my RC8.2 silencer body. It has narrow cabin. But silencer for MP9 has fat cabin. I'm disappointed. It's not cool.

Ｉ must use ALCLAD final. If I splay oil base paint over the paint,the paint is burn. I heat back side of body by my hand once splay each times. If not so,ALCLAD paint make babbles. I paint backing by FASBLACK not ALCLADBLACK. I don't like ALCLAD BLACK. The paint made by tar. It make difficult to wash Airbrush. Painting body completed. Sticker tuned! Side view. Back view. I will go to China on my business this weekend.  I never shack down DNX8.

I have to paint first most wide area. Then I don't have to musk all area. I musk thunder pattern area only.  Drew bordering with air brush. It make thunder color vivid. Black Faskolor is little thick. It should be added water 20%. I usually use TAMIYA metallic violet for most wide area. The paint can be painted evenness. And it be bonded body well. It is strong for engine oil. It takes short time to dry.  It is very easy to paint. I recommend another color is FASKOLOR #F40150 FASESCENT RED. It has same character.  Then backing black.  It makes coloring vivid. Backing color should be dry well. If not so,musking tape can not come off precious. Then I splay thunder area fluorescence yellow. Fluorescence paint is difficult to use. The paint show through reverse side well. Then It must be paint several times. It takes a lot of paint and times. Then I use fluorescence color with narrow area only. And back...

MP9 body shell arrived. I don't like shell design. Especially front window. Other shell has rim on the window side. It protect crack on fall down. Probably MP9 shell has weak down force. Body shell is setting parts. Windy day I will use MP9. No wind day DNX8 original. Next I want to try Type R D815. Ty Tessmann get advantage of aerodynamic on last worlds. That designed for quick steer car. It can get rear traction more. If I adjusted low roll center.And droop set short. Rear breaks early. At that time Type R will useful. But probably DNX8 has rear traction well. Then original body make for front down force oriented. My son study at Musashino art university. The university is one of the most famous art university in Japan. He publish photo album. I like his works. But I don't have artistic talent. I draw the line free hand. Tomorrow it will rainy weekend. I can't shack down. I will paint these sh...

I don't like painting body. Because It smells bad. Bud I have to paint to complete the kit. Last night I painted DNX8 body. First I use with airbrush.  It's normal double action by Tamiya. Compressor is same by Tamiya.  I paint along with thunder pattern. Use white metallic. Then I splay metallic violet.  Then I spay black. It's called backing in Japan. I don't know what In English. Could you teach me? Important things are.. ①You must dry well by one color by. I left one day to dry one color. I mean I forget painting. ②Don't harry. When you remove masking tape, you have to be slowly. If break skin of paint,you must stop to remove. Then you cut the skin along with edge of pattern by design knife. skin of paint?  I don't know how translation that. Do you understand? Could you teach me?

I've completed to draw. Then I wash inside of body. I usually use large size masking tape. I have several important points of masking. ①Stick first over the small pattern. Almost large tape can be cover over small pattern. It avoid overlap of masking tape. You can cut so easy. ②Attention with edge of pattern area only,other stick suitable.　 You don't have to make wrinkle and air bubble over the edge of pattern. Other area stick suitable. I use design knife. I don't put a farce for never cut body only tape. I change knife end several times. I start painting first dark coloｒ.

I don't like precut  body. Because when I draw the line ,fingers get painful at cut edge of body. I draw the line and paint image with free hand. I draw shadow.  It can revise mistake The work takes a long time. I'll report again when drawing complete.  it's back side of body.  I put a protect tape. Green tape is used on building site for protect flower. The tape is called YOJO TEPE in Japan. The tape avoid cracking well! And it's very cheap.
