I added Junkers Ju-88 seatbelts because I hate PE belts, like the ones which came with the MPM set. I found that the Junkers seat belts came close compared with reference pics.

Nice choice! Thumbs up for picking up a civilian example, and one you have photographed yourself... Good luck in your build!

Thanks Alex. It's a nice kit to detail, especially the cockpit of course. It's so roomy!
