Time for a brief update, took almost 3 evenings to add the PE belts, due to pretty fiddly pieces making up the seat.
Some of the tiny pieces came off every now and then while struggling with bending and glueing the PEs

One major difficulty with those tiny parts; there is not so much contact surface to cement, so everything is rather fiddly. One wrong touch and off we go. :headslap:
Here Airfix definitely prevails over Eduard: More Robust and not so sensitive..

The floor still needs to be transformed into wornout wood look

And checking the looks

Now I can start to finalise paintwork of the headrest, the floor, with a hint of some weathering and other details before closing up the fuselage.

That is a thing of art. Nay, beauty...a thing of beauty. Well not beauty like Stikpusher, but a wonderful piece of work nevertheless.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

The belts really busy that pit up even more. It's all looking really good Kari!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

It does, even nothing beats HGWs textile belts, both in looks and difficulty to make them !

Hoping to see you making a video of that process, but perhaps in slow motion this time, right Clint ? :whistle:

I just finished the video of me making them and if it was in slow motion it would take forever.
