Looking at the de agostini photos, it doesn't look like the drivers seat, including seat belts is very detailed - just a lot of black in there.

Is anyone looking into extra detail in this area?

I think I recall Kev Confused talking about doing seat belts with some realistic detail. Are they available off the shelf or do you have to D.I.Y?

I would guess at the level of detail so far supplied, the kit will surely have decent seat belt detail???
I really can't imagine it with 'Revell' moulded-in plastic belts......
If so, I'll DEFINITELY be adding my own!

BigGrin Hello Jack,

Just waiting until we get the seatbelts and then I will decide what to do with them. From what I have seen of the belt material in the Japanese build photos, it looks too coarse in the fabric texture for me and out of scale with the rest of the car. If so, I will just use the buckles and 'Boss' logos and replace the fabric with something thinner and finer weave. My local fabric shop does a whole range of suitable materials if needed.
