Interesting.
What material are you using?
It looks like fishing line.

I love the Fiat 500 car and can't wait to see what else you do with this one. I like how you've used that wire/line to create the side strip.

D version: essentially opens doors against the wind.
Material for the vents and line side : wire nylon for the fishing

Re: Fiat 500 D from Fiat 500 F Tamiya

Neat project Bullroad! I might build an Abarth version after seeing this. I've always liked the insane tininess of the Cinquecinto. One can just imagine 15 clowns piling out of it in the midst of a circus ring. Dyed handkerchief linen would make a convincing retractable sunroof. Good luck and keep the updates coming.

Re: Fiat 500 D from Fiat 500 F Tamiya

Looks awesome!
Ironically I built the F version as a replica for a friend. I build the Gunze version which came out as a D. So I reversed what you are doing!
I'll watch this with interest. Enjoy!

Re: Fiat 500 D from Fiat 500 F Tamiya

Looking good - and good call on replacing the wires. The replacement wires look a lot better than the original ones.
