Modelbouw Dordrecht. One of the last surviving brick and mortar stores. And a very nice one too!

I waited for someone to notice actually 😄 I was on vacation in NL last year and you know what? Spent actually a night in Dordrecht but didn't even bother to check for model shops...

Bought the kit on eBay couple of years ago

Considering the manufacturer, that headlight cover actually fits pretty well. Ever tried a 962C? There's some ill fitting headlights.

Maybe I am just spoiled by Tamiya to be fair

Following this to learn. I would like to know what cord you're using on the beautiful seats. Inspiring to see what you're doing with them. Also how will you be able to make it look like fabric on them?

Alexander Grivonev
Hi yngvenett, the cord is just blue isolated wire, the thinnest I had in my stash. I think this one is 0,25mm buth there are thinner ones you can buy. For the seats, just keep an eye open, will post updates the next days 👍

Hey. Interesting idea with that blue upholstery. I'll share with you a tip that I recently tested. For better reproduction of fabric seats, you can try adding 10-15% Mr Color C188(Flat Base Rough) paint to the blue paint. The rough surface will enhance the matte and the seats will be more realistic. Of course, I mean only those parts on the seats that are blue in color. Regards.

Hey Cas, yeah something of this kind was my idea too. Just making the surface extra flat will get you a nice "fuzzy" texture
