There's a very recent thread somewhere on this forum where someone was using HGW versions of these things, which are much smaller.. Personally I'd go with the WNW efforts. The PE is a bit thick but anneals okay, and when finished they look like the ones on the semi-skeletal reconstructed (from several airframes) machine at Hendon, photos of which are all over the place online. Also somewhere online there's a period film of someone strapping up one of these (although IIRC it was in a BE type, and they were that broad alright.

Here's a link showing the attachment of the pilot's belt: http://www.wwi-models.org/app/album/Acn.php?base=%2FPhotos%2FBri%2FBrisF2b&hdr=Bristol+F2b&picInx=13.If that doesn't work, have a look at the photo archive at http://www.wwi-models.org. Under Britain you'll find sveral F2b survivors photographed. HTH.
