I thought I'd get me Merlin in place had to bring the big clamps out for this one Unfortunately the seat belt was not coloured like it was in the picture so had to add a bit of colour, I thought the sand colour was better than yellow

Looking good Ian . Did you anneal the photo-etch before you painted it? It might be a tad tricky to bend if you didn't

Nope didn't think of that

Still time to do it Ian, you can always repaint afterwards . Just be careful with the heating, not too long in the flame, don't let the PE turn red .

Good news on the job Robbo B)
If the etch was pre-painted it should already be annealed and ready to bend... maybe... :`

If I anneal it all those tiny silver ends will need painting I had a go at putting a bend in a strap and it bends easily

Great job Robbo ...........if ya bend the etch to many times during shaping etc it can splinter/crack the paint on the pre-painted ones, just be careful
