Thanks fellas! I used Wayne's recipe for RLM02 on the undercarraige. I got the engine cowling painted and put it together last night, plus some of the checker decals on. Will post pics later.
I got outbid on my PE seatbelts on ebay earlier, but I found a better set on luckymodel.com for less money, plus free postage!
Looks great M, especially as decals over large curves are a pain! For the brake lines, use either stretched sprue, or, if you can get it fine enough, copper wire or fuse wire. Actually, in 1/48th, when painted, 'invisible thread' would look OK, and should glue easily and conform to where you want it.
If you decide to use sprue, do the bend (cold) around a paint brush shank or dowel of suitable size, making a complete circle, then cut as required. But it's much easier to use copper wire!
