Can you please give us some more information on the 'nut under the seats'? This sounds like a really good idea, as I guess you could do it to all models as you build them, just in case you ever decide to put them in a display box. Maybe some photos and a bit of a how to?
Cheers,

Hello Grant,
thanks for your kind words.
The Infineon Mörtl car is a 2000 car, that means different air intakes of front hood and different front spoiler, but I think you already noticed that, too.
I use to put all models in display case to avoid bad surprises in model show...
some like little children
who "spring" to your model shouting "MOOOoommmMMMM look at the subaruuuuu" (while taking the model in their small
FULL HANDS !!!)
and other things like that
Nuts and bolts under the seats... Yes why not a How-to or tutorial... I could do that quite easyly if I can find all English words
In a few words:
- chassis of the model should be firstly painted. (other wise paint could fill the hole of the nut and its "
filtage" (?? is it a correct word in English ?
)
- I put a nut in place under the seats, fixed against the edges of the seats support, without glueing it.
- I drilled a small hole through the nut and the base of the display case.
- I take off the nut and adjust the holes to the bolt and nut size on the model and the display case base.
- I glue the nut in its place in the model taking much care not to let glue entering the nut.
- and then you can fix the model ! (of course if you had well aligned all holes)
