    Whilst pondering the finish of the seat - i took a morning to re-finish the tail - which had a small cavity at the base - and was a little porous - - due to the master - which i made from a relatively soft sheet of Renshape - so i brushed on some Tamiya white bottle primer - which is thick enough to swim into most of the pores - and some CA for the cavity - sanded with some sanding sticks - i want To do as little as possible with the enamel color coat …

    Once i re-spayed the seat - with a lighter shade of “leather” - i began to install the rivets that secure the leather to the body - used .07 Master Club flat rivets - hard to judge scale size - .06’s - which are just over 1/2 sc inch - might be more scale accurate …
