Fixing the interior marks

The interior of the original kit has the typical mold marks (marked in red), which make the part to look cheap and “plasticky”.
To remove these marks I applied two different strategies. In the bigger area I’m using simple sanding paper and sponges, from lower to higher grit. The smaller areas behind the seats are more difficult to access with the sanding paper and my fingers, so I cut a piece of styrene sheet with the same shape of the area to be fixed and glued in on top.
Later on I painted everything in two different finishes, semi-gloss black and flat black.

      @gekoch Thank you! Once the car is assembled it won't be visible anyway, but I can't ignore it and leave like it was 😅
