I love your work on this plane, did you use some shading beside the seat belt to make them more evident with respect to the seat they lay on?

Hi Andonio, cheers for the thumbs up  :)

as for the seat belts thats another story  :-\

i got the p.e. kit from eduard with this kit and the seat belts are part of that set.

to be honest i made a pigs ear fitting them, they dont look too bad from a distance but up close its a horror story  :o

cheers

Michael, a model, to my (humble) opinion, is not something that should be regarded through a microscope, the important thing to me is that when you look at it it seems real, and it doesn't matter if a louver is 1 mm longer than in the real plane.

Should one take part to a contest, well the story might change, but in all the other cases microscopic details don't matter.

So I keep my thumb up for your really good realization...

Michael,
    Since you can't see without your glasses let me assure you she looks great! (And I hope you locate your missing "eyes" soon!)
Cheers,
Lance ;)
