Curbside kit, which shouldn't take long:

The rear bumper is a darker blue and needed masking. So I thought I'd try an idea shown to me by a member on another site a while back.

Masked the demarcation line with Tamiya tape as usual but then masked off the rest of the body with cling film:

Using the cling film was SO much easier to apply and SO much easier to remove than any other way I have used in the past.

There are several 'electronics' boxes moulded into the floor and unfortunately, so is some of the wiring. And of course it looks awful.

It's not really feasible to remove it and I fear painting the 'tops' of it would look equally awful.

SO...... I'm attempting to add my own wiring by going over the top of the moulded in stuff. So far, so good.

Well 'shouldn't take long' turned out to be 11.5 months!!! LOL

Anyway, I finished up the interior. I used the kit seat belt decals (ugh!) and for a bit more detail, I made some rear belts from masking tape.

For anyone consudering this model, be aware the the front of the roll cage 'down pipes' are way out of line and I'd advise installing the roll cage BEFORE the dashboard as per instructions. In this way you will be able to bend the down pipes and at least make them fit even though it may not be accurate.
