Thanks guys,
Lee, you haven't missed much as there will be a third P-38.
Scottie, I don't know but the close up shots make it look very crude.
Ok, seatbelt time... These are in 1/48 scale so buckles need to be seen.
Standard house masking tape was used, measured and cut into different strips for main belt and straps.
I used two types of gauge of wire for the buckles...teased them into shape with the help of tweezers and a flat nosed plier.
I threaded the tape through the buckles like the real thing and glued the ends with CA.
I mixed up some off white and a dash of green and sprayed a based coat...
Then I dark washed areas to highlight the straps.
Painted in the silver for the metal fittings...
And walah...homemade seatbelts.
Cheers,
Richard
