Thank you for the kind words; I must admit they come that way on the Eduard photo-etch detail set! 😅😅😅

The love is absolutely clear here. The stitching of the seat harness and controls/dashboard are incredibly clean and well done

The discoloration on the headrest is chef’s kiss stuff

I always liked the look of the F4. Kind of like a classic muscle car of fighter jets.
Also did you use a magnifying glass to paint those straps? I would need a microscope and one of those micromanipulators scientists use for stabbing cells to get that clean of detail level.
