Good luck with this, I've built the single seater and have to say that I was underwhelmed. Hope you have a better experience with the twin stick.

Si.

Is it a scale up from the 1/48th kits, both of which sit in my loft, or a new tool?

now the ideal would be to replace the seat with resin ones, but i know from past experience these are ok so as this is an OOB review ill go with them, the only thing i will change will be the paints

They are quite complex for kit seats

I always wonder why resin companys can cast lifelike stuff but it isnt done as much in kits. Although things are improving a lot

I agreed it wouldnt take a lot to mould belts ect

i have to say revell seem to have realised this and some of there recent seats are a big improvement
