With the body almost ready for decals, I stepped up my efforts concerning the interior.
I made the electronics box at the passenger side.
I used a small piece of styrene (Evergreen item no. 166 2.0x3.2 mm) and drilled a few holes into it so I could fix the needed wires into the box.
For the wires I used 0.4 mm steel wire. To simulate the connectors I used some styrene rod (Evergreen item no. 221 1.2 mm). Using a pin vise I drilled 0.5 mm holes into the rod, so I could insert the wire.
I must say the "connectors" look quite bulky in the picture. But after a coat of paint they look good enough for me.
To further detail the cabling I used some hose clamps from Detail Master (DM-2480) which can also pass as cable ties (with some imagination).
I also made a second electronics box at the passenger side. This one is mounted on the floor.
I'll have to lighten the cables a bit to make it more visible once installed.
As a base I used an electronics box from the kit, sanded to sha…
