LDO Posted Sunday at 01:42 AM Posted Sunday at 01:42 AM I just got the old Tamiya Lorinser Mercedes-Benz 500SEC. The box art shows seats with brown scattering upholstery, but it’s not in the kit. I would love to have decals for this, in several color schemes. Can anyone here make this?
Exotics_Builder Posted Sunday at 05:28 AM Posted Sunday at 05:28 AM The kit never came with any decals. So, not just the seat insert design, but dash detail and wood trim are also up to you. Not all Lorinsers came with the scatter upholstery but it kind of unique. I was going to craft it when I do mine, but it is not on the schedule any time soon.

I had never heard of this company. I checked out their site and they offer a white/grey scatter decal, along with the Sunset pattern. I wonder if they will ship. I’m on a few modeling groups at Facebook and there are lots of posts about companies in Europe that will not ship to USA because of tariffs. Edited Sunday at 01:20 PM by LDO
