Oh, I bought mine from Hannant's, and they're about 3 bucks cheaper, and the shipping is reasonable. Just buy a few and you're saving quite a bit.

Here's where we sit now. I said I'd post pictures in the daylight but that didn't exist today since it was snowing heavily.

Had to do some blending on the side panel of the cowling. One side (port) comes as a separate piece, but didn't sit flush at the front end with the upper cowling. It's not pictured, but I'll do a more comprehensive set of photos at some point before it's painted.

Nice Cory and good job on the belts.I use Radu belts 1/32 Luftwaffe Seatbelts - standard (Beige) [RB-P320061] - €4.95 : RB Productions Store, Scale models and accessories by Radu Brinzan but much the same process and yes abit frustrating but I think worth it.I like you ordered up for different AF's and got a discount.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Off to a good start there Cory.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks gents!

Great work on the interior! Like others, I've seen those fabric belts and agree that they have a much better "drape" than the stiff PE parts. I've toyed with the idea of replicating gentle folds using PE belts but it has been hard enough for me to glue those tiny things straight in!

 

[Catch22]

Thanks John! Yeah, they also have a nasty habit of popping back up off the seat on you and looking ridiculous if not glued properly.

 

[dneid]

Looking very nice, Cory. And, what is this thing called snow of which you speak?

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Cory!

 

[Wayne Little]

Not bad at all Cory.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks guys. This is on hold (although I haven't updated it fully) as I ended up in the hospital, and I don't have proper use of my right arm as I had a procedure in my chest, so I can't really build anything at the moment. Hopefully I won't be out of it for too long!

 

[Crimea_River]

Damn Cory, hope it's not serious. Get well soon man!

 

[fubar57]

With Andy...take care Cory.

Thanks guys, we'll see how it goes as time goes on!
