Hi,
Having acquired by post the Eduard e-brass pre-painted seatbelt set 32632
for the Revell 1/32 Ju88A1, I see the black printing of the stitching is not
central on the belt, so the box with X in at each end of the belt is more a
three sided box with an X, the other edge being either almost totally off or
off the edge of the brass. Other features are off centre also. The lap pads
with raised edges have stitching missing the edges at the sides, but ok top
and bottom.  Things that should look central are not, for me it looks wrong.
For a competition model its a risky move to accept error. Just looks odd
anyway.

I also plumped for the generic 1/32 seatbelt set 32507 and that too is
afflicted. All black stitching is off to one side.

Wish they used brown or a dark buff, seatbelts didnt have this obvious black
stitching on them anyway.

Has anyone else got these and are they better registered. After a long wait
for such before continuing the build its yet another delay now whilst better
are sought. Never had this before from Eduard. Is better to be had in this
set ?

The instrument panel set 32633 is also slightly out, right hand side of
black bezel is three times as thick as left side. The other colours are in
register with the black, its just that the printing is out of register with
the parts.

How are yours ?

Steve
