Oh yes! If you do not have any needle files, you will sure wonder why you didn’t sooner once you have them. Superb tools for cleaning up mold seam lines off of parts..

I finished up the Mk. II harness prototype this morning. Tamiya tape, coaxial cable wire, and fiddly buckle bits carefully trimmed out of a French Market Coffee & Chicory freshness seal. I’m happy with this so far:

Bruce, thank you for the sketches and encouragement. I feel a lot better about this one.

Carlos, thank you for the advice and encouragement as well!

Thanks Chief! I appreciate it! I’m gonna paint it later on after I paint a little on the Stuka cockpit.

And yep! Buc-Ee’s is awesome!

Installed, and the the final bit of construction on the cockpit module is complete! And the seatbelts look a lot better than I thought they would in there!

If this isn’t cause for a *ONE* Coors Celebration, I don’t know what is!

Cheers! And thanks again for your help, Bruce and Carlos!
