Eduard 1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX, seat belts (early version)

A pre-colored photo-etched set of seat belts in 1:32 scale from the Czech maker Eduard, in the variant matching the early form. The set replaces simplified plastic or missing belts in the cockpit and gives the interior of the Spitfire realistic detail. This is not an airplane model but a stand-alone detail accessory.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX was a British single-engine fighter of the Second World War period, one of the most widespread versions of the Spitfire. The early version of the belts reflects the period form used on the earlier machines, which differed from the later ones.

Usage tips

Break the parts out with a sharp blade, make the bends over a metal ruler and form the webbing with light pressure. Standard etching is fixed with super glue, and with the self-adhesive version we recommend securing the joint with a drop of glue once the film is peeled off.

Who the set is for

• modelers building the Spitfire Mk. IX in 1:32 scale
• those who want period-correct early belts
• advanced as well as moderately experienced modelers working with etching
• collectors of British aircraft of the Second World War

The accessory is supplied as a set of photo-etched parts. The airplane model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
