sjordan2 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 This continues to amaze. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like John has put the correct cloth/carpet backing on the rear-facing parts of the seat backs, which would be something of a first on this kit.

curt raitz Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I must have missed some details... why is the body textured? The main body of the car is covered in canvas, hence the textured finish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have to say that I have been floowing the progress of this build, and not only am I more than throughly impressed with your build quality, but your progress so quickly it makes it just that much more impressive! Great looking model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
