Looks real good! Nice detail.

Did you add any more button detail, or are those the moulded buttons on the dashboard? Seatbelts from the same detail set?

Those buttons are moulded on the dash. I didn't bother to add any switches, they are just to tiny for my hands. The belts are from SRC set.

Magnificent work. I particularly like the red seam around the spare tyre.

Hey again. I finally put all the decal on this machine :screwy:
Some of them are tuff as nails to lay down, but i tained them with microset and haidrier. Body is waiting for a final clear coat, i will be using tamiya x-21 clear, sprayed with airbrush. I also finished all the clear parts. Getting close to an end. Yeah!

Excellent job on those decals!!! I have already had one aborted attempt to finish the focus in this colour scheme and it ended up in the bin sadly so I know they can be a pain.Love the detail on the spare wheel (the markings on the tyre wall) and the seatbelts look superb! Steve.

your model is just amazing, but i'd go with another brand of clear, the tamiya one have a tendency to turn white to a yellowish color. i just took a look at my jar and it's already yellowish in the jar, imagine over white...
just my:2cents: , keep up the good work, yelo

I did some dryfitting and it looks it will go on without major problems. I did, however had to thin the glass at the top ends.

This is a great build and I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished, even though I'm not a fan of the car. Your work is very clean.

Some more progress on this car...
Windovs are made from thin clear foil, I've used tamiya acrylic paint for final gloss coat and rubbed it. I've also glued hood pins. More to follow.
