Is it me or is everyone who builds aircraft models getting a little tired of new EXPENSIVE kits that have many decal options but never seat harnesses forcing you to go to the aftermarket to make another expensive purchase?! Honestly 80% of the aftermarket brass for aircraft isn’t necessary and most of the time never seen especially in 1:72 scale. I started making my own harnesses from tape or wine bottle lead and the results are as good as expensive aftermarket items. Just a thought because most new kits claim to be the latest and greatest of everything. I seem to recall the same sentiments from the 80’s and 90’s about Hasagawa and Tamiya kits which STILL are some of the best out there

Mr D
I've seen the after market kits sell for more than the model kit.
As you say once the cockpit is enclosed you see very little of it.
I had a photo etch part that didn't fit correctly n made job more difficult...it was on the side of the seat, had to cut corner off, it could have easily been moulded in as part of seat brace.
In some areas it works well, it's fun to make your own parts too, the foil of a hot chocolate lid works good for belts n thin metal parts.

Hi David.
Yeah, I especially like a Centurion, anything NATO from the Cold war is on my interest list. The trouble is not much is available in 1/25.
I know Bandai made two M60 kits, they pop up on eBay when there's a total eclipse over my house.
The AVRE is Centurion number 4, I have one left to do. I'm planning on a MK3 scrapyard find. Be a chance to get some rust practice.
I have a 1/16 Leopard 1A4 in Aussie colours, after doing that 1/35 seems too small. I intend to stick with 1/24 & 1/25, although I did just finish a little BAE Hawk 2 weeks ago. It's on display in the foyer at work. I work for an aviation firm.
I'd love to do a MK13 in 1/25. I look forward to seeing the end result, your work is very good.
