You can learn a lot from looking at your fellow modellers models closely,I noticed a detailed interior on a model of a Hawker Hurricane,the pilot had a replica of the old Sutton harness complete with a seat buckle,it looked so good that I asked the builder how he did it ? the reply was masking tape,ordinary standard masking tape that had been folded over and cut into strips,the seat buckles were made from alloy wire folded over and tapped lightly with a small hammer,these were then stuck in place with cyno,the straps given a coat of matt cream.

The overall effect was superb and I for one will certainly copy this simple idea next time.
