Is "dollar bill seatbelts" going to be a thing now? |

Thanks fellas. Is "dollar bill seatbelts" going to be a thing now? It will be for me.  They’re about the closest thing you'll get to the HGW fabric belts. US currency is more cloth than paper so the stuff is really tough. I cut the buckles of some spare PE belts. |

Some more outstanding work! Genius move on the "money belts", and the engine is looking the part too!  |

Are the money belts those 4 bits of raised detail that are the joins of the front cowl?

Many thanks T. Just be careful with those thumbs or you will poke out a virtual eye.  Abe says the Tamiya exhausts, “No son buenos!”  1.5 mm brass pipe to the rescue.  And from the Latin… detailavici landinggearicus. Pardon any syntax errors. Been a long time since I was an altar boy and never should’ve been one in the 1st place. 😉  |

In the painting process, there was a slight loss of lift and a nose dive in the ground…  Repairs made and got it all done. After the crash and sanding down the rough paint spots I noticed while doing the dot filtering I missed the right wing tip on the repaint. So, I decided to take some licensed with a backstory of the pilot clipping a palm tree and there had to be a field repair and patched paint job. Wingtip nav lights where filed out square, a touch of silver, a touch and clear red/green and little blob of Bondic. Antenna wire is a thin stripped of piece of EZ-Line. Finished with Mr. Paint. Other “stuff” includes… Quickboost gun sight EagleCal decals-applied directly to the Mr. Paint, no gloss clear coat Vector resin engine Resin LG doors          |
