Alpha Model 1/24 Scale model car kit Ferrari SF90 Stradale // Car Body
The build begins with preparing, priming, painting and clear coating the body. ALPHA Model gets better and better with every model they release, so there is almost no need for corrections on the body. First the kit was cleaned using warm water and dishwashing liquid, after that the panel lines got a little deepened in order to keep them visible after all the different coats. For sanding a sanding sponge with 800 grit that can be found on Spekter Žalec • Specialist za barve Št. 1 web shop www.kupibarve.si was used and after that the body was primed using AMMO by Mig Jimenez white one shot primer. The paint was prepared by the specialist from Spekter Žalec. Paint used is AkzoNobel water based automotive paint with color code FER322(Rosso Corsa) the roof is the same color bit with code RAL9005. For the first time I used MR. HOBBY - GSI Europe Hobby Department PS290 airbrush which is amazing. For the protection of the paint before applying CF decals a thin coat of 2k clear was applied.

Alpha Model 1/24 Scale model car kit Ferrari SF90 Stradale // Carbon fiber decals // Part 1
With new year come new challenges, and in the next few posts you will se the process of applying Carbon fiber decals on the amazing car body of the ALPHA Model Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
In todays post I will show you the preparation of car body before applying the decals on it.
In order to achive the best possible surface for both the CF decals and later on also the clear coat, the body was sanded with the use of 3M Auto’s 2000 grit sanding sponge. The choice of a sanding sponge instead of normal sand paper came with help from the specialists from the company Spekter Žalec • Specialist za barve Št. 1and was suggested based on the many edges of the car body. The sponge is soft and adapts to the surfaces better than sand paper and helps to prevent sanding through the clear coat and paint on the delicate edges.
The result can be seen on last picture a perfectly matte surface prepared for carbon fiber decal apllication

Part 2 will be CF application on the car body. After the car body was sanded, the process of applying the decals can start. After some trials I found out that the best solution for the ALPHA Model CF decals is to put them into warm water for a couple of seconds than put them on a cloth for some time in order for the decal to separate from the bcking.
Given that the SF90 body has some really complex shapes use of AMMO by Mig Jimenez decal set and decal fix solutions, which were provided by miniatures.si, along with cotton tips and hair dryer was neccessary. The results seen in this post are the decals applied on the body before the final layer of clear coat.

In this post you will se the carbon fiber application to the rear splitter. As well as for the car body the same technique was used. The CF decals from ALPHA Model were quickly dipped into warm water and the left on a cloth in order to seperate from the backing paper. Later on the decals were applied with use of some AMMO by Mig Jimenez decal set and decal fix solutions supplied by miniatures.si
The result is one full Carbon Fiber rear splitter withou the final layer of clear coat applied.
This is the last post about carbon fiber decals for the ALPHA Model Ferrari SF90 car body.
After allowing all the liquids to evaporate from under the decals it was time to protect the decals and give them and the car body it’s final apperance. For this reason another layer of clear coat was applied.
Final results can be seen in the pictures.
All the details and tricks can be found in the video for this build process:https://youtu.be/ZHccoAtx_7A

As promised in this article I will show you the application of carbon fiber decals to the interior of the ALPHA Model Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
As you saw in the unboxing and in articles anout the car body, this kit comes with all carbon fiber decals for both interior and exterior. For the interior there are also CF decals for the Asseto Fiorano pack which I will not use ince I’m making a veraion without the track focused pack.
I found out that the best way to apply the ALPHA Model decals is to shortly dip them in warm water and place them on a cloth until they seperate from the backing. Since the decals are quize big and the shape complex use of Decal set and Decal fix from AMMO by Mig Jimenez was necessary. Both liquid soften the decal and make it easy to apply it on the seat. In this step also small decals for the dashboard, center console and rear shelf were attached. The rear shelf and seats were cleared with 2C varnish, decals on dashboard were cleared using a brush.
Next time we will begin with assembly of the dashboard, center console, door panels and seats.

After all the parts were painted, cleared and detailed it is time to assemble them into finished components. The yellow stripes on the seats were painted with a brush and TAMIYA（タミヤ） XF-3 (flat yellow). In order to give the seats more leather look a light dry brush was made on the cushions. All the parts were glued together with Toni Clark practical scale GmbH Super Gold + glue. Some small decals were apllied to the seats and to prevent whitening some AMMO by Mig Jimenez Decal Set & Decal Fix were used.
Next time we will make the carpets of our interior.

The atomisation of the paint is superb and it is also super easy to clean. Special thanks goes to miniatures.si for recommending this brush. To begin all the chasis and suspension parts were primed using AMMO by Mig Jimenez One shot grey primer after that the wheels and the blocks for attachung the disc brakes and wheels were painted with matt black from AMMO by Mig Jimenez and the calipers were painted with TAMIYA（タミヤ） XF-3 flat yellow.
