Hello everyone,

I started assembling a VBCI, earlier this year enjoying a brief holiday period. Everything was going well until I decided to build the interior in Scratch, I'm using as a reference the pictures placed in the Maquette-Garden. However arrived at that moment when nothing goes right and before it gets worse, I am seeking help and advice...

I'm not looking 100% fidelity, but I want to make as close as possible. I'll put the pictures and would like the opinion of everyone, especially of those who best know this vehicle...

Please help me before I decide to close all hatches and lose my vacation days on workbench...

Shock absorbers…



Set of suspension and traction…





Building the interior(Scratch), happy still...







From this point on not so happy, the seats have become a nightmare, remade 3 times further did not like…





Details of what was done…











I hope once again count on the help of all… A good year for everyone.

Hello Sergio,
don't bash yourself ! Your interior looks great so far.



Concerning the suspension, you could have spared some of your time as most of the time, there is a rubberized envelope around the schock absorbers so you can't no longer see the springs.



Along with the pictures of the scratchbuilt interior you can see at Maquette Garden, you can have a look at the walkarounds of the real vehicle in my site.

Thanks Olivier,

In photos Maquette-Garden, already showed the canvas protectors on the shock absorbers, I believe it is possible to repair with a Tamiya Mask Tape.

The photos of your site helped clarify many doubts, especially the seats, I think I'll redo all...

I will keep it updated topic, so everyone can follow.

Thanks again!
