After much searching I found a reasonably clear picture of the bang seat staps etc and went to work with the 3D decal straps. So far 11 applied and at least 6 more to go..... then repeat for the rear seat! I am not sure if this is 100% accurate but once done, and closed up, I think it should provide a reasonable representation of the real thing. Some pics for your delectation.      More soon, and as ever ACW. Tim

They look so much better than they did on the backing which is great news. One little thing and it’s just MHO, I don’t remember the padding standing quite so far off the seat on the Tonkas that were at Marham but pics are hard to find as you say. Here’s how I think they looked  for reference only. |

Pete, Marco, Beano, Si B, Ian, TG and Paul, Thanks for the comments, glad you like. SteveM, Have to agree with you, but it was so that I could keep things apart to build the layers. Hopefully the following will be more representative. Two more belts to go before the first seat is finished, and this is how it looks at the present.
    More soon and, as ever, ACW. Tim

Well thank you for the comments. Makes all the work worthwhile. In total there are 28 fiddly bits of 3D printed straps etc which try the patience of a saint given that no instruction or guidance is given. Having trawled around for ages, I managed to find this as a reference (for reference only)
and from that we have one seat completed and looking like this.
 Not to shabby and hopefully will give a good representation when all closed up in the fuselage.
