hi guys, i'm asking for some pics again but this time it's about the interieur of a M1114, more accurately it's about the seat belts of this vehicle.
I guess as a modern vehicle it has some seat belts but i couldn't find any pics about it and i need some pics because the Bronco M1114 doesn't include any seat belts and i want to build some
so I hope you guys can help me

thanks in advance
Flo

Eduard's PE set #35629 includes some seat belts that may be usable (with some mods) for a M1114...:

Your best option to create the M1114 seat belts it to get the voyager M1025 etch set for the mounting bracket at the top, and use lead foil for the belts. I made the clips from resin parts from Pro Arts humvee interior set. Using the tech manual pics, the belts are really easy to make, i'll try and take some shots of my work. But basically in short you cant rely on any etch seat belts as they come in either eduard or Voyagers sets.

Hey

You may want to look at this set from Voyager. I know it says Marine seats, but I've seen them on army humvees and in any case the belts would be transferable.

Hope this helps

All of those new Voyager sets are applicable to U.S. Army M1114s in Iraq. I don't know why Voyager specifies some as USMC specifically.
