Posted by The upholstery kit was the last one to arrive. I went with standard option 1 in grey. It was the only kit without shortage or backorders! Although the required M4 rivnuts were supplied as M5, no matter easy to source.
It’s quite meticulous work and I did it on some of the hottest summer days in the UK. Inside the hangar and inside the plane with spray adhesive upside down. I just took it slowly 90 min at a time. The instructions are a bit thin and sketchy and it’s was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle to work about where each bit goes and how exactly it’s designed to wrap around what and where, but I figured it out.
The passenger seat runs nice and smooth but the pilot seat is a bit stiff. It seems to be squashed laterally, even after I tried to increase the width and re-rivet.
Very satisfying fitting the seat and finally having a sit-down 🙂
The finished look is very classy and has that new car smell.
