Going to detail up the seat a bit: masking tape seatbelts to sit in the lower part, with a bit of wire

The tube assembled, turned out it looks good out of the box, quite convincing for the scale

The seats had the uper seatbelts molded on, but I had to scratch build the lower ones

Dry fit reveals another massive gap to deal with, the assembly has being a nightmare, I can´t wait to complete it and move into the painting.

Unfortunatly, the thickness and magnification efect don´t alow much of the work in the interior to be appreciated, I´m thinking in find a way to display it opened, as there is no option for that in the instructions...
