Was looking for seat harness colors, so can anyone tell me what the actual color these are?

The seat is done and dang these close-ups shots. Though I'm not totally happy with my paint job, it does look better when viewed at normal size. Glue this and a few little bits, paint the windscreen, and it's done.(I've got to learn to paint the clear parts first. These are the most nerve wracking for me to paint and I've got a few models that just require the clear parts to be done and they would be finished.)

It looks good, how about a really thin dark grey wash?

I like that seat as is but a wash would probably would not hurt.

I was just thinking that myself. Maybe even black. Would give it more depth and make the paint on the belts look better.

If you want less wash just whipe a bit with a Q-tip diped in water, if it hasn't dried yet, if it has dried just add a touch (half a drop) of the thiner you use for your paints onto the wet Q-tip, should do the trick, but whipe it gently
If you want less black in the wash, add a bit of white into the mix, I usually mix a bit of black, water, thiner, white and then more water

I like it just as it is. Once it's in the confines of the cockpit the wash won't look quite so intense.

Right! Precisely. Just the right mix of shadow and bold colors that you want in a 1/48 cockpit. Looks great!

Thanks everyone. Finished. Though not even close to being as bad as the A-4, I'm thinking this will be my last Hobbycraft kit for a while...two P-40s and a..."shudder"...A-4 left in the stash. Hopefully I will have the done photos posted tomorrow.

EDIT As I was putting it away for the night, I knocked off the port antenna....again..sigh.
