Out2gtcha Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Are you planning on using the kit PE seat belts? I know for SURE that if you provided nice molded ones I for one would use the seats with those instead...............the kit PE belts are OK, but sort of stale, and a bit lifeless, even when posed IMHO.

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Are you planning on using the kit PE seat belts? No I have a problem with most photo etch I have. Actually had to give away all my 1/32 AC builds away do to it. I live so close to the ocean that the salt air starts corrosion on it, Green chunky stuff on them. Espicaly Verlendin / Eduard untreated with Nickel. I have clear coated but does not work. It's always starts at the edges of seat belts where the sprue attachment is Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 You can see my dilemma here with Verlinden etch This part has been cleaned of once before. It has come back here aging only. It is also in a display case :BANGHEAD2: The stuff is so strong it pops the CA glue. This is an old ESCI T-55 tank Sorry for the Hijack Harold Cheers Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ohhhhhhhhhhhh NICE!!! I hope I can cast this one with the articulated belts. I know they will be destroyed when I pull it out of the mold. So, it is a one time deal. Then I will do the other seat with belts in different positions. If you look closely at the back pad, one is a bit saggy on the bottom and the other is in the lumbar area.

Out2gtcha Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I hope it will cast well. I hope so too. I love using well molded in belts, as well as the nice fabric style belts, but I have a severe aversion to using PE belts. They just dont really look natural to me, even with annealing.
