Hello,

I'm trying to do the Tamiya M2 Bradley kit (This version that is).

This will be my first interior and I'm thinking that I will go a little bit further than OOB. I'm wondering what type of seat belts they used in this early version.

I found an old kit from eduard:

Is this the right type?

I have this etch that I think could be ok in that case:


I bet it isn't exactly the right belt, but remember that this is my first try at an interior, and my second armor over all so I'm not going to count rivets here.

Cheers
Anders

Those seat belts would work too. The Eduard M2 Interior set (35583) is still available and includes the pictured seat belts and a bunch more detail parts for the interior.

Thank you Gino.

I was under the impression that #35583 was discontinued. At least according to Eduard's site. It would be awesome if I could lay my hands on one, but I haven't had any luck with any of the old interior PE kits for the M2 bradley. At least not here in Europe.

Same belts that we never used on the M113.
