You are an expert on the P4! When you've finished building the model it will probably be the best model P4 in the entire world!

Once again, thanks for taking the time to share your pictures on the forum.

Thank you Kaye. I love to share my pictures here. Today I finished the frame and the suspension and I have to tell you a secret. This car is not a P4. It is a 412P. Maybe later I can explain the differences…

The basis for the leather seats is the same principle as I used for the Gilmer Midget Racer.

Imitation leather is better for sewing as it is not as flexible, but you can also use real leather. It is important that it has a uniform thickness of 0.5 to 0.8 mm. Be sure to use a leather needle and grease the leather before sewing. I use fleece for topstitching. There will be photos as soon as I have something to show.

I like a vintage look and try not to be too perfectionist...
