Anybody use Finemolds seatbelts?
Splatman812 replied to Splatman812's topic in Construction & Scratch-building
Thanks Thierry----I'll give it try. Like I said, they look great. I don't like PE and the HGW ones look great but are a bit tricky to assemble. I kinda stocked up on the Finemolds, so I'll give it another try -
Picked up a few sets (RAF, US, Luftwaffe) in 1/32 at Plaza Japan. They look great, but I'm having issues with the lap belt----they seem far too stiff to fold over the edge of the seat bucket. I tried hot water soak, but no luck---it finally snapped in half!

I'm surprised also. I have both kits and they are VERY nice.

Do you primer after burnishing?

I'll give it a try quang!

Not having good luck with these PE and film combos. Seems very prone to scratching (especially bezels) and revealing the brass underneath. Primer (tamiya) doesn't seem to help much.

I wish Revell would do another run of this kit. The ebay offers are pretty pricy.....

My casting attempt was a flop. May take another run at it.. Do the originals need to "flex" at all when installing?

really? I've seen a few photos without them. Must have been pre-war I guess. I wonder why they weren't included ? I guess I could scratch a few rolls and make resin copies -

I haven't see anything but the art. Futons are shown in the Kate combo, but are incorrect for the PH version. The Zero combo shows what appears to be a MIdway scene (with futons) which would be correct-----so maybe....? Strangely enough, the 1/72 version appears to come with futons -

I see there's a Zero/Akagi bridge coming up. I noticed the bridge has futons this time.... -

The brown truck showed up. Yes, lots of parts. Impressive flag decal sets, Kate looks great. One thing that caught my eye------a texture on the deck planking---looks pretty good. I'm going to skip the AM wood deck. -
I'll check my molding supplies. It's been a while....
