David R. MeizosoCharlie, for the belts I think he used painted masking tape, as suggested by pic n.6. You can also use strips of aluminium foil, It all depends on which technique you feel more comfortable with. There is no such a thing as modelling techniques copyright, feel free to try and copy everything you like, that's the way!

Chan Li@ charlie yes they were masking tapes, I used them cuz they are cheap and handy, first off you need to know the scale of the seats, and thus you can design the right size of the belts on the tape, stick the tape on cutting sheet as I showed in pic 6, use a pencil to outline the sizes, and cut before you paint them, then you can paint them as you want. Normally you can't set the belts perfectly with one trial, and this is another reason I prefer the tapes, can try many times without loosing stickness. Sure you can copy it, we are here to communicate for fun. And I actually copied this method from one of friends, just he can't speak any English.😅

Chan Li@ David: you've got that right, thanks for following, I'm still a noob compare to all the model Masters on this site, but I would like to share my thoughts. I would always appreciate your encouragements with reverence and awe.

Simon NagorsnikFantastic work Chan!!
The color shades in combination with the panel lines result in a very convincing overall picture!
Also a very good job with the decals, they fit perfect.
Once i had an airplane project that didn't work at all (horten),
haven't made any planes since then😆

Chan LiThanks Simon, to apply the decals normally took two to three days of mine, and sometimes it eliminated most of my patience.
At a point of time for this project I almost quit the bounty hunters decals for a simpler one.
And always appreciate your compliments.
