Great project. I do love the NB though this kit was a real dissapointment to me. The interior doesn't line up with the windows leaving a big gap. Check it out before you get too far.

Maybe you should paint the brake pads with flat black?

Will make them look a lot more realistic.

Muito bom! Onde você arrumou essa tinta? O resultado ficou ótimo.

Um amigo aqui do Rio embala algumas tintas automotivas, ele é o Chicorupp do fórum Small-Dreams.

Almost done...
