I have used styrene rods to reproduce the seat mounting.

Thank you for the comment.
Finally got the body clear coated and now I can start off the cockpit.

I like the floor it's has a nice used look to it. Did you use a wash on it? If so what color?

Yes, I did use flat black sprayed all over the interior and have it brushed with diluted enamel paint XF-9 (brown).

Great project. I always wanted to do one of these! Your works looks nice and clean - as usual.
It seems you will apply the window-frame-rubber after you applied the clear. Will you spray the black? Arenīt you afraid of taking the decals and clear down when removing the masking tape? Or do you use a different method?
Cheers

Thank you Robert
Normally, I will have the body clear coated and then masking those frames by Tamiya paper tape (yellow in colour) before painting black. I did it many times without taking out the decals.

Iīve just been worried since on my CLK-DTM I removed some parts of the decals usind this method... my fault though since everybody else seems not to have any problems! Thanks for the response!

Very nice work, I've just finished the body on this one and am going to assemble probably tonight. This looks better than mine by far, Im not too skilled in decals yet, but getting there. I did this to create a scale model of the transformer Jazz.. so i will put clear blue on the headlight covers, as well as place an autobot sticker on top the hole in the hood. Just wanted to say excellent job on your part.
