The engine looks great!
What glue are you using to join all the engine/fuel injection components together?

The body is decaled and clear coated now. After 3 2K layers I used Micro Mesh grit 3200 to 12000 and polished and waxed it.

Very nice work on the engine. The cables and wires look realistic. Nice and clean paint. I'm on the 640 myself. Hope I get the paint job as good as you. I look forward to the next pictures.

Re: Ferrari 78/88 F1 1/12
Ferrari driver seats in that area are covered with leather. HIRO offers a self adhesive suede sheet in the box as usual. Seems to be extreme difficult to place this sheet without any folds or wrinkles on the seat because there are two concave directions. So I make a negative plaster form from the seat. When dried it is waterproofed by acryl color (in this case blue).
Then it is covered with leather glue and passed at the seat.
This negative form has two concave directions on.
Very thin (0,4 mm) leather is wetted and gets very stretchable.It's easy to pull it over the form and fix it with pins.
When leather is cured with a hair dryer it keeps the form.
Then it is covered with leather glue and passed at the seat.

When glue has dried it is easy to fix the leather at the convex edges.
