Hi Karen. I like the interior with the added flocking. Are you refinishing the body or stripping down the kit part?

Luis I start with tamiya or simla primer 2 cotes then sand the primer with 1200 wet and dry paper then put your first cote of colour down REAL THIN if you use the paint straight out of the can spray about 20 30 cm from the model then add coats until cover is uniform let dry for a day or two then sand jently with 2000 w+d let air dry then clear cote

That's a really cool idea for the carpet! I have never even considered using flocking powder to achieve those effects. It looks marvelous! Thanks for the tip, Karen!
