Where did you get the full size seat from for reference, oh my mistake it's 1/48, well done Sir.👍

18 October 2020, 07:49

Kees Kleijwegt
Thank you mates! 👍
The seat belts are from HGW with a little wash added. They're quite fiddly but realistic indeed

18 October 2020, 08:38

Michael Phillips
That interior (and particularly that seat) is amazing! Following!

Very gorgeous seat and detailing

22 October 2020, 02:37

Patrick Hagelstein
Amazing seat Kees! 👍 May I suggest one thing though? The buckle at the and of the belt that sits straight across has its end peeling loose like a 1:48 scale HGW seat belt set, otherwise it would look exactly like a 1:1 Bf-109D-1. 😉

22 October 2020, 03:23

Björn Svedberg
Lovely progress! Following! 👍

Usually not my cup'o'tea, but you did a great job on this beautiful sharkmouthed Jumoschmitt. One of the very few examples of „noseart" on german aircraft in WW2. 👍
