Shackleton MR.2 Seatbelts

Evening All,

 

I am in the middle of adding tape seat belts to my 1:72 Shack MR.2.  I've put a couple of shoulder harnesses on and was trying to work out what the bottom portion of the belts looked like.  I kind of assumed they were lap belts so came across from each side.  The photos I have seen showing the seats only show part of them, and there's no sign of any lower seat belts.  I've seen pictures of the back-end crew seats which have lap belts.

 

Can anyone shed any light?  And hopefully more light than will ever be shed on the real things!

 

Cheers,

Al.

I can’t speak for the mr2 but I work on an mr3 (I assume it will be similar)

the mr3 crew seats have lap belts into pockets each side and shoulder belts that are detachable and link into the spar for take off with the seat rotated. 
If you need any pics let me know.

Thanks very much for the info, sounds like they were as I suspected, but great to get confirmation. 👍
