Continuing work on the RX-7 in half scale. The interior is fairly straightforward, just tedious and time-consuming. The C-West kit comes with both left- and right-hand driver dashboards, which is fun. However, the seats are lacking. The Tamiya kit has seats that are molded as one piece – much cleaner than trying to get fronts and backs to match seamlessly. So, I swapped out the seats.
Decal placement takes a steady hand and some patience, though there is one thing the instructions don’t mention. Each one has a halo around the actual image that should be removed as close as possible. This is especially important for fitting into depressions made for the decals, such as the dashboard.
If you don’t remove the halos, the decals will simply not fit the spaces. Those three on the left are super tiny.
I glued the various interior pieces…
…and glued the bucket to the chassis. :D
