Nice. How did you do the seat. I have two kits that need tartan seats and have searched for fabric in the right scale.

It's made from SMS http://www.scalemotorsport.com upsholstery decals, a clear decal with that black lines.

First you paint a base color and after that, put a piece of decal over it. I bought long time ago, but I didn't use it till now.

Looks nice.

The building went right, japanese fit & well injected... except for those painful rubber parts... I really hate them... don't know why Gunze choose to produce them in rubber...

Thanks everyone for your feedback !!!

Excellent job. Those upholstery decals really set it off.
