Williams FW14 WIP Pictures

Started with so 1st assembly trail of the trans kit parts. 

 

 

A little training of my Japanese... 

Donor for the Trans Kit is the Tamiya FW13B. But this one doesn't have the right rims. The FW14 had 4-spoke Fondmetal rims. Since I didn't want to destroy another FW14B kit, I decided to create new ones and 3D print them. 

 

New set 3D printed Rims FW14. 

 

 

 

 

The center nuts on the FW13B in the Tamiya kit are simple screws. Since these don't look particularly great, I also helped a little with 3D here. 

I am satisfied with the result. 

 

 

 

The rear wing endplates are included in the transkit as white metal parts. However, these are warped and I don't know exactly what it will look like after painting. Therefore, here too, the idea of simply creating new ones and 3D printing them. 

Rear Wing Endplates also well printed. Now it is important that everything hardens flat. I fixed it with tape for the final curing. 

 

 

Some more 3D design... Mirrors and a side cam. Next we need a headrest and a very tiny nose cam! 

 

All parts were successfully printed. So we can move on in next step with some sanding and detailing on the resin chassis part.
