About product

R.E.8 Harry Tate in 1:32 (HGW)

A detail accessory, not a kit of the airplane. The set is shaped for the British two-seat reconnaissance biplane the Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8, nicknamed Harry Tate. The pilot's fabric seat belts are of fine microtextile and are completed by photo-etched metal buckles and fittings. They replace the flat plastic or decal belts from the kit and raise the realism of a cockpit in 1:32 scale considerably.

The real subject

The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 was a British two-seat reconnaissance and artillery observation biplane of the First World War. Despite the initial mistrust of its crews it became one of the most widespread British observation machines; it was nicknamed Harry Tate.

How to use the belts

Release the belts carefully from the sheet, thread them through the photo-etched metal buckles and shape them into the seat and the cockpit; the soft microtextile holds its shape and behaves like real cloth. The fabric will take water and thinners, so the belts can be toned, filtered and given a light patina. Clean the photo-etched buckles before assembly and, if you wish, color them with a metal shade. The result is faithful cockpit detail of a kind that plastic or decal belts out of the box cannot offer.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the R.E.8 in 1:32 scale
  • For lovers of British observation airplanes of the First World War
  • For modelers of two-seat cockpits with faithful detail
  • For those who replace plastic belts with period cloth

This is a detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
