I used the Tamiya set. Not too bad= - radiator faces, wing end plates and mounting plates, but one of Tamiya's paper-based seatbelt sets.

I used the S27 set, and it worked fine for me. Also primarily needed for wing end-plates,rear wing mounts and heat-exchanger surfaces. I used seat-belts from a different seat-belt set, just can't remember from where, though :oops: . I think either set will work for your purposes.
Cheers,
Chris
