    Todays progress. Made the seat belts, which add a lot detail to the kit, but also the edges fray real easy, was tempted to hold a lighter close to them to get the edges to melt but didn't want to risk it

    Did the pedals and seat …

    Slow burn, there is a lot to this kit

    Wasn’t going to do much today but I started fiddling with it and got quite a bit dine including what I did yesterday

    I even put fuel in the fuel tank πŸ™‚

    Engine and transmission are ready for paint I am going to use different shades of AK paints for some contrast.

    5 additional images. Click to enlarge.

    Nice and sharp work . Don't be affraide to add some dirt here and there . Even the most neat cars have their "secrets". After all, they are hard workers, so to speak, they will also have some leaks ... πŸ˜‰

    Excellent progress, Cricket @bikequeen
    How did you create the filled fuel tank effect, or did you seriously add fluid in there.

    @fiveten Thank you once again Spiros I was watching a video of another build and got the idea for the red calipers, but I had already installed the front ones. With slight pressure they popped off so I painted all 4 red πŸ™‚

    @johnb ahh very good question John. As I mentioned to Spiros i was watching a video of about he build and got the idea, so it’s not my idea. I masked the inside of the 2 halls

    sprayed a light coat of red inside (no pic) and glued the halves together πŸ™‚

    Great technique and very realistic outcome, Cricket @bikequeen
    Ps. I hope to be able to get the same level of skills on my recently started Honda as you show on your builds.
