Hey Dave.

I did a 1:72 Stuka a while ago. I posted some pictures of the cockpit, they're fuzzy, but if you screw your eyes up abit you can make out my go at seatbealts.

I had a look round but can't find any pictures of a Stuka cockpit which includes the seat and the belts.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Allyne.Some useful extra details there as well.The Airfix kit is lacking in detail compared to yours.

Makes mine look kinda sad after seeing that kind of detail.

The work of Allyne is superb.

I'd go for the light coloured belts in a BoB era Stuka. In scale a sort of dirty,creamy,white.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Steve.The Eduard pre-painted seat belts are luckily the same colours as those in your photo's.
