Glued the windshield
and frontal parts on the chassis.

Unfortunately,
the chrome radiator
frame was badly chromed on the upper right side (shown in pic), so I
covered
the whole frame with BMF. The radiator bezel and the hood parts do not
properly match.

I glued in the
floor, steering wheel
and the seats.

Meanwhile,
I had prepared the
"wooden" side and rear panels. I did not use the bad stickers given
with
the kit, but instead, I used paint to imitate wood. For the panels, I
used
gloss yellow oxide shade spray can; and for the frame, I painted with
brush,
gloss light brown. To emphasize the wood pattern for the panels, I
rubbed
#1000 sandpaper very lightly over the wood grain patterns of the
plastic.
For the hinges
and other metal supports,
I used Gunze Iron Metalizer paint.
