Latest releases from Aires covering Modern Aircraft in 1/32. The detail in these casts look amazing from the folds in the seat cushions to the pipe work in the undercarriage bays.

Wow, the Fin Pit looks nice. I 'll have to pick one of these up.

They need to get away from those PE seat harnesses though, as most of us still prefer molded on belts. It's too costly to have to resort to QB seats for this option; which is Aires made as well.

Hi Mike

Now that's an interesting comment. I'd have said the opposite, but it'd just have been my personal preference speaking. I always wonder what line to take in reviews re- cast-on harnesses. I think it'd be a good topic for a future Poll.

All the best

With the majority of modelers and clubs I've been associated with, it's pretty unanimous; prefer molded on seat harnesses. PE just doesn't not lay down the way it should and increases the build time significantly; which shouldn't be much, if anything at all for a "seat".

Lead Foil and kabuki Tape are the best meduims for scale seat harnesses, though the buckles and interconnects would be best done in PE; though at least double or even triple the thickness to look scale.
