Love these detailing bits, my friend @brithebuilder!

I am really looking forward to this one, Brian (@brithebuilder). I have had my eye on this Fujimi kit, but I have waited because I didn't know anything about the kit. Now you have solved that problem. Looking forward to the build.

@chinesegeorge - I think most of the PE is going to go on pretty easily. The seat rivets are definitely going to be tedious.

@beauslx - I'm cross eyed just thinking about it Robert.

@fiveten - I love the details Spiros! The diorama is going to have some cool hidden bits too.

@johnb - Other than the seat rivets, I think it's actually going to be a relatively quick build. Fingers crossed anyway.

@gblair - So far, visually, the details look good, very little flash. Hopefully the fit and finish match the Tamiya GT.

@garybrantley - Hey Gary, no engine. The kit is a curbside, as they say... anyone know where that term came from? Why do 'curbside' kits have less details?

Hi @brithebuilder, it’s my guess that “kerbside”, note the correct spelling, just means what you would normally be able to see if you were standing on the kerb and looking at the car, so no engine detail, or very little anyway. That’s my guess for what it’s worth. I’m sure the GT40 will look great, especially in the Gulf colour scheme.

Ok, so seat progression. It's really not that bad. If you're a glutton for punishment. This is about an hour... maybe an hour and a half tops. I ended up using Testors canopy glue. It's a bit more forgiving than CA. After installing all of them and using a non stick sculpting tool to really press them into the seat divots I still needed to sand it a little. After touching up the paint and adding a black wash the first seat looks pretty great.

Those seats are impressive, Brian @brithebuilder
Almost a full day of labor but definitely worth the result.

Yes, they do, I fully agree with Spiros here! 👏

Whew. Looking at all those washers you installed looks like a lot of extra work but those 2.5 hrs you spent were well worth it, Brian @ brithebuilder. I wonder just how comfortable those seats on the real car are?

Anybody ever look into Meng’s GT40? I wonder how it stacks up?
