The past few days perhaps were less interesting when it comes to updates, but they are part of scale modeling steps anyway.
I've glued in the new door panels, placed the seats for a dry-fit and yes... I'm trying to recreate the piping on the leather seats using thin copper wire. It looks quite prominent now because of the color. That should fade once it is painted.
Then I gave all remaining parts a thin coat of primer
Followed by semi or full gloss respectively for some of the parts. The gloss black will function as a basecoat for the metal paints.
Goof: Yes... I did paint the windshield wipers, only to realize this car doesn't have any
Some of the interior parts will be painted in an off white color. That remains to be done in the next few days.
