Thank you. I hope I'll have similar patience for the rest because I can already see there's gonna be a lot of fitment issues.

Album info

Since the the amount if detail was lackluster in this kit (not even seatbelt and dashboard decals), I tried some scratchbuilding, which I never really did before. The seatbelts are made of masking tape, the buckles and rest of the details (levers and rods) are streched sprue pieces.

To be honest, I actually prefer this kind of seatbelt over a decal one. The spure pieces are a little too wide for the buckles, but I still like that it's not flat and actually has volume. I think I'll use this method in the future even if there are decal options for a kit.

Color is mixed from AK acrylics I had at home (tricolor NATO set and white).
