I am aware of the basic color (white) with the black centerline stitching. This is what I will "weather" the shoulder harness. The lap belts will be a "weathered khaki" and a leather-colored patch at the connection point. I am using the FINE MOLDS seat belt set, and they are quite detailed in...

Thanks to all! It gives me an idea of what I need to do to achieve the proper shade! Cheers!

What would be the color of the pilot's shoulder harness? Also, what paint manufacturer produces a color to match? I understand that with use, the original color would get dirty.

Thank you, Sir! That's what I'm looking for. The thick end to the ground, correct? Thanks again!

I am building a Tamiya "Razorback" kit. I am looking for information regarding the length of the static line which was under the rudder. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm presently building the Airfix kit and have it primed ready for paint. Regarding the underside "black", does it go "through" the radiator housing and onto the face of the radiator itself or just over the outside of the housing? If it's the latter, does the inside of the housing receive...

I appreciate the information. I went to the Aviaeology site and made notes form their comments on McKnight's aircraft. The decal set I have is the Sky Models Hawker Hurricane Pt. 1. Type "A" Scheme it is then. Another question if you don't mind? The demarcation of the "Night" on the...

Thanks! Time to crank up the airbrush!

I appreciate the input regarding the wiring of the instrument panel. I'll let it slide and take my chances. Now, another question. Regarding the interior grey-green color like that used in the cockpit and gunners location. Is it also used in the wheel wells and on the retraction portion of the...

You are quite correct about "affection". I've been doing this "hobby" for some time now and am trying to shake off the adage "You can't see it but its there" I've heard so many times. I find it bogs you down and you end up wasting time or not finishing. After I posted this, I got to looking...

thanks for the heads up

It's the 1/48th
