The only ones I could find were the Eduard and they were a little pricey and also resin….. ModelsUA And alternative to Eduard... a buck or so cheaper. And they have brass barrels, too. Which is a very cheap alternative... just attach them to your plastic receiver group. But missing are the sights and sight cover... so, basically you can scratch the sight and sight cover... Sorry to suggest extra work... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me now, I would say immediately, but then I look at my stash and find so many temptations. Honestly I can't tell. For now, I have the excuse, that I wait for my Brassin MG's. I'm also not sure about the camo and tend to a North African scheme. Cheers Rob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Pit about ready to button up…….seat harnesses made from masking gear tape, I reckon they will be sufficient once the glazing is on……… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Those tape seat belts look great, Phil. I reckon it's a great substitution for AM belts if your canopy is gonna be closed. Hard thing to master is painting the buckles... mine tend to look like silvery blobs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Phil Awesome work on the front office and those seat belts and harnesses - bravo! The look better then a lot of PE belts I've seen and some of mine as well. Keep 'em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sweet Phil, the cockpit is looking great and it's good to see a non PE-pit with hand painted details. Seat cushions and seat belts are also very nice. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gaz, as money is a little tight at present, I thought I’d give the tape belts a go. First time I have tried them. I’ll try your idea of yours for the buckles…….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat cushions and seat belts are also very nice Rob, much appreciated, this build is a first for several reasons mainly being detailing a German cockpit with all the RLM 66 and the seat belts……..this ICM twin is a fun build………..I think I saw ICM are bringing out a Bristol Beaufort which would be great, a very underrated workhorse. Also I wonder if it’s a line of Bristols coming our way….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
