wildmeninaction Hi Tim, where did you buy this? I can't find it anywhere.

Tim van Dooremalen I bought it on their website: https://kmp-sm.com/ it's initially in Italian but you can switch to English by clicking on the Italian flag on the top left and then pick English. Payment is simple with paypal.

wildmeninaction That's great, thanks a lot!

wildmeninaction I have another question about what material/paint you use to get the right texture for the seats? I've read a couple of reviews from someone who used a spraycan called Tenco Proto Fake Fabric, but I can't find this anywhere. Is this what you use, and in that case where do you buy it? I'm thinking of flocking the seats but I guess it will be hard to get the decals on if I do that... the models on your website are amazing by the way!

Tim van Dooremalen I know that stuff, it's really nice for seats. I use it on almost all racing seats. Now, the company that sold those (Tenco) does still exist but is not in the business of modelling anymore (I know the owner personally). But I also know the spraycan you're talking about is available in most car-stores. It's a product from Motip you can spray on the bottom side of your real car to protect it against small rocks and rubble. Just do a search for "ean 8711347000012" and you'll find it

Tim van Dooremalen About the decals on top of that fabric: that's no issue if you use enough softener and a hairdryer.

wildmeninaction Thanks a lot! I've found it at a local store and going to try it out. In your builds it really does make a huge difference imo.

wildmeninaction I got the Motip anti gravel (ean 8711347000012) but I honestly can't see any texture when I tested it on a bit of plastic, it was just like black paint. I only did one coat though, maybe it comes with more coats?

Tim van Dooremalen You have to put on several thin layers from a distance (about an arms length). Just a short burst and then let it dry for a couple of minutes, then repeat until there is enough build up.

wildmeninaction Thanks, I will try that tonight

wildmeninaction I did as you said and it worked perfectly, thanks a lot for the advice. I also did the dash and it looks a lot more like real plastic too. How many coats do you usually do? I did 4-5 for the seats but only 2-3 for the dash and the dash came out a bit more realistic. To something different, do you clear cote before or after decals? Sorry for all the q's but I'm a complete beginner and your builds are my main inspiration right now.

Tim van Dooremalen Number of coats depends on how I feel it looks and is also dependent on how "heavy" you put them on... just do as you like best

As for the clear coat; I always do one before decals. BUT, I now of some other car-modelers who put the decals directly on the color coat. I've had problems a couple of times when having to use microsol to get decals to go around curves and it attacked the color coat (and not the clear coat ), so since then I always do a clearcoat first.

gorbygould Excellent work! Those decals would drive me nuts.

Spanjaard Nice colourful ride

bossy122 Nicely done. We're there any issues dealing all the differing surfaces and aeros?

Tim van Dooremalen Not really. The extra aero is mostly photoetch that should (and can) be glued on after decalling. I did paint part of the body blue to minimize gaps between decals. In general the decals fit very nice and react nicely to softener and heat.

Chris Greathouse That's an awesome looking racer!

Margus Vasar Now I have seen everything

Chris Greathouse Woah! That racer in the water is amazing!

Laurent "HELLER-forever" nice

Gary Puttock HI Tim, I have this car as a project as well, have you been able to locate decals? Thanks Gaz

Tim van Dooremalen Nope, they don't exist... I designed them myself and had them printed by a friend.

Gary Puttock ok thanks
