Interior is rather basic , but enough for me at this small scale. 

First coat of brush paint ... rather awful. It seems that Gunze 23 doesn't cover very well, 

All paint has been removed and a new coat was aplied. Not perfect but much better ... The issue is that this coat shows the mold lines ... brrrrrrrrr . Time for wet & dry and elbow grease ..... and repaint ....  

A coat of primer Tamiya XF19. 

Bad move ... Tamiya flats don't go very well with the new formula from Gunze ,,,,, So had to remove the paint for a second time. ARRRGGGG !!! because I wanted to have it finnished by the end of this year. Thankfuly I've recently found a cheap and very good acrilyc paint remover.

I works wonders ,,,, and also can be used to clean the kitchen and all kitchen utensils as it's food friendly , which is in fact for what's being produced.
I don't know if it's sold outside Spain though ..... well ... Amazon sells it ....  

Paint removed ,,, and the remover. Just soaked the plastic body in KH7 for abt 10 min and all paint has gone. 

Just a few specks remain in the inside. The outside is free from any trace of red paint. 

First coat of Tamiya TS-8 rattle can ,,,, Oh man !!! That's another story .... Let's wait 24 h for the second coat. 

Second coat ,,,, I like it much more now ! 

ARRRGGGGG ... when I was about to paint and glue the clear parts .... I noticed that the rear "glass" and one head light cover, where short of injection ..... I had to make a new one from clear acetate 

Windshield and roof painted and glued. 

Last build of the year 2022 

Calling it done ,,,, Gluing the acetate rear "glass" with cyano smarred a bit of the red paint ,,,, I'll try to fix it next week.  

AK Gauzy helped making the rear glass clear,  

And windscreed looks also better now woth a coat of AK Gauzy. It's a very good substitute for Jonhson's Future ,,, or whatever is now called. 

OUPSSSS !!! I forgot the wind screen wipers ,,,,, Now it's done
