I also posted this under WWll German: I have a 1/48 Flettner Fl 282 'Kolibri' helicopter kit from Huma. It is a very fine kit, but the pilot's and observer's seats are very plain and have no seat belt detail. Would anyone have an idea of which type of aftermarket aircraft seat I could substitute?

I built the 1/72 scale kit years ago, wasn't a bad kit to build, just needed some careful fitting. I could never get enough weight in it to overcome tail sitting, so simply added small pins to the bottom of the tires, and pinned it to a small base. For the seats I just added old fashion maskiing tape belts.
Looking forwed to seeing your 1/48 scale one.
