Awesome fiddly bits, Vic

I'm just finding this build and am floored. beautiful work The seat belts, 3d printed, cloth, what are they, look the best. I always end up screwing up the foot straps on the rudder pedals, yours look stupendous. I have the early variant B-1 I think.

My thanks Don for you kind words. Seat belts are Eduard PE placed with a bit of fiddly TLC and the foot restraints a bit of tin foil and a couple of small PE buckles that I picked up from a company called Reheat Models a couple of decades ago, not shure if they are still operating.

They look great but I love my 3d printed ones.

Thanks for looking in folks.
Finally got round to fixing the instrument panel, apart from getting new bits I was waiting on some Zap Gel so I could stick those little knobs.
Have also made a start on the engine. Me being me, I was not so happy with the moulded ignition leads so these were stripped out a bit of paint applied and a new set of leads added.
Hopefully more work will follow on the engine tomorrow.

Oh do you come from the land down under where women glow and men blunder.
Can't you hear, can't you hear the Thunder
You better run, you better take cover.
