I had the seat belt set in my stash. This is the last war set and so not correct for this model, but is better than nothing, as it's all I have.

nice work so far... Also started tackling this one, but with the CMK-upgrades... These don't fit whatsoever...

Great work thus far Steve, despite the large amounts of filler and sanding, looking forward to the finished product. There comes a lot of satisfaction from finishing a kit that has caused you no end of trouble.

Progress is so slow - I can only model at weekends and, even then, for just a few hours. Ah well.

This is my attempt at the ex MPM (?) kit.

Almost nothing fits. This is in part down to an almost complete lack of tabs and locating holes, but also because some of the parts well, just don't fit.

I have used vast amounts of filler on this, and spent many a happy hour sanding and shaping.

My skills are modest, and having arthritic hands has not helped, but I am learning loads. This is the point, surely. Each kit a little better than the last.
