Hi all,

Here's a recap,

Box art



no sprue shots, they are all the tinterweb

the extras



progress to date.

airfix mould the padding but I didn't like the look of the seatbelt bar so removed it and made my own from white stock.





Finally, the work done tonight. Seat belts, what a pain in the A they were but all etch now in place in the office.

It's had a light coat of matt varnish to pull it all together. A small amount of tidying and grime to add then that's it. Time to close the fuse 

ACW as ever

Cheers,

Cheers Sam. Thanks for stopping by 
It's not bad stuff for IPs and suchlike but I now prefer non prepainted etch for all other bits. The belts were real hard to fit. Superglue didn't hold well and you couldn't bend the parts well at all.
Normally I'd anneal them but as they're painted you can't.

Awesome work on the office Steve.Looking really good.

TJ, Andy- cheers guys   These prepainted bit look great on the IP but I'm not sure about the belts. They seem to stiff
