You mean my Japanese die-cast of the 166MM?



A modeling friend in the States sent me some 32AWG white wire and it arrived yesterday so I spent an hour this morning fixing it on the seats with CA glue.

I don't know if this piping was standard on all S7s but it was clearly visible in some of my reference shots so I put it on there. I don't think I will by making the effort to do the rivets though

I've not done something like this before and I have to say that my already high respect for Tang's 612 interior rose even higher - this is pretty fiddly work to do cleanly and I only had to do about 5% of what he did!!



Here are a couple of reference shots








And here's how it came out for me. I went a little "wonky" in places but as J-M would say.."tant pis"







Thanks for looking in.
