About product

Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin – fabric belts 1:32 from HGW

The set is an accessory for a cockpit, not a kit of the aircraft. It is made up of straps of printed microtextile cut by laser and photo-etched metal buckles. It is intended for models of the British Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin fighter biplane in 1:32 scale.

Why the belts play a part on this type

The Dolphin was a single-seat fighter biplane of the close of the First World War with an unusual arrangement of its lifting surfaces, in which the pilot had his head in an open cut-out in the upper wing. The interior is therefore visible from immediate range and from above, so a hard, flat photo-etched strap easily gives away that it is metal. The fabric can be bent and left to lie loose over the seat and over the side of the fuselage.

Procedure and tips

Take the part out of the sheet, remove the backing paper and work the strap between your fingers, so that it loses its flatness. The ends are threaded through the photo-etched buckles and fixed with a spot of cyanoacrylate. The fabric will take a fine wash with an oil or an enamel paint to dirty the straps down; with machines of this period it suits staying in muted leather and canvas tones. You will make the work easier with tweezers and a fresh blade.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of First World War aircraft in a large scale
  • Modelers who are bothered by the hard look of photo-etched belts
  • Those who want a true cockpit without making the straps from foil
  • Suitable for the less experienced as well, who manage work with tweezers

This is not a model of the aircraft, but an accessory for the interior. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No, it is an accessory set of belts for a cockpit. The model of the aircraft has to be bought separately.

The strap is threaded through a photo-etched buckle, secured with a spot of cyanoacrylate and anchored in the cockpit the same way.

Yes. A fine wash or a filter takes the newness off the straps and settles them better into the interior.

Tweezers, a sharp scalpel and cyanoacrylate glue are enough, ideally in a thicker version applied on a pin.
