Tamiya 1/48 Meteor F.1
Kit 61065
The cockpit is fairly basic and it's also very black, other
than the seat and seat belts. I tried to
highlight stuff a little but it just isn't going to be visible other than the
seat, stick and panel. I may have to add
some detail to the back of the panel on the F.3 because with the different
windshield it will be very visible.

harnesses were put in, using the glue that is cured with
UV light. It really made it easier to
do, and that was helpful because in this case it seemed better to install the
belts after the seat was installed in the tub.
I had bought some on the web, but then I found it was available at
Walgreens and I bought some more there today.
The glue
is sticky enough to hold the pe in place until it is arranged
right, and then you shine the light on it and it cures right up. If you have excess glue you can wipe it off
before
you set it with the light, but it will bring a little paint with it,
both acrylic and enamels so there may be a little touch up. So much less hair raising for me than CA.
