Despite the fact that this build will be an out of the box build, I need to do one exception, and that is the belts.
To use decals representing belts is not correct, so I ordered, directly from HGW models seatbelts.
292 Czech Korunas equal roughly 11,4 € or USD 13,4.

Kari!
I saw this yesterday, the assembly and added decal, and thought it was perfectly achieved; the use of Tamiya’s setting solution just right. I think it is often too much carrier film that spoils the effects of a decal, but in this case, your experience and effects are perfect. I hope I am able to use the word perfect here.
This is beautiful!
I simply must state that again! Very beautiful inner assembly as well, frankly you are achieving the right effect with usage of insignia white; thin and completely realistic scale effects. Bravo!
As far as having to purchase seat belts I think every model builder here feels it would be necessary to augment the interior. I wonder why manufacturers leave these critical pieces as aftermarket?

Re: Kari's bench 2021 -->
That is indeed impressive. That the text is that legible is incredible. Nice!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Kari's bench 2021 -->
Thanks Bruce once more and thanks Lyle!
I had big plans for today, to finalise the horisontal stabilizer, but seems time will run out.
I could finalise the masking, but painting the rest of the stab will probably happen during the weekend.
What I really like about this kit is, that many parts can be finalised with paint and all, before attaching into the fuselage.
Like with the air intakes, the horizontal stabilizer can be added very much in the end of the build.

Looking good Kari! That was also a big plus with the ZM Phantom.KSaarni wrote:Thanks Bruce once more and thanks Lyle!

March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
