Good eye, Carlos. It looks like they're attached to the cockpit wall than the seat itself.Stikpusher wrote:Isn’t the seat back actually a separate armored piece from the seat bottom? Look at the framework of the back. It’s quite substantial. So then attaching the shoulder harness to that item makes a lot more sense.

Posted from my phone earlier. Ignore the "messerschmitt 109" label as this is a 262 seat.

Eduard panel? I would give the Aires panel a go too. A little more effort but I find the acetate/unpainted pe face sandwich-type panels give really good results.

Thanks fellas!
John: I weighed it all out. Sometimes I go the easy route. Definitely not always but every now and then I do.....especially when I don't get as much time at the bench like these days. I guess I get impatient for progress.

Re: 1/48 Tamiya Me-262-Cockpit Time!!!
At this scale, there is probably not much separating the Aires and Eduard instrument panels, even with the added work needed for the Aires version. So you didn't make a bad choice at all!
