I think the seat and belts look great! Not too wide at all to my eye! As for the instruments I can't comment as I get no photo  8)

Thank you gentlemen!

I'm not sure why the instrument panel photo wasn't showing for you. I will try again:



The problem is that the carpet monster was hungry so now there is no compass at all!

Nevermind, I didn't like it much anyway and so I added a stretched cotton-bud and some stretched plastic rod to a spare piece of photo-etch and filled the hole with some clear plastic:



I think it is more like the photos I have seen, plus it is always nice to have things made by yourself rather than just pure aftermarket so although not perfect (and quite messy in close-up) it makes me happy!

Thanks Bo (although I'm not Toby!)

Here's where I am with the instrument panel. Still needs a little work but I think I prefer it to the kit offering:





And here are all the parts done so far:

Great detail work Mark, the photo of all the parts together looks like a larger scale, that's some fine looking work!
Cheers,

I agree with Lance! The instrument panel is a huge improvement!
