About product

HGW 1:48 Airco DH.2 - fabric cockpit seatbelts

This is a detail set of cockpit seat belts, not a model of the airplane. It replaces flat plastic or decal belts with parts of real microtextile completed by photo-etched buckles. It is intended for models of the British fighter biplane the Airco DH.2 in 1:48 scale.

The real subject

The Airco DH.2 was a British single-seat fighter biplane of the First World War with a pusher propeller, in which the engine sat behind the pilot and a Lewis machine gun in the nacelle in front. That arrangement made firing forward possible at a time when synchronizing a machine gun with the propeller was not yet common. The DH.2 helped the Royal Flying Corps gain superiority in the air in 1916. In its open cockpit the seat belts were clearly visible.

Fitting and tips

Choose the shade of the belt, cut the parts out along the marked line with a sharp knife and then shorten them to the length needed. Work the fabric briefly between your fingers so that it takes on natural folds, and thread it through the photo-etched buckles. Glue with PVA glue (white glue) and do not use super glue or any other aggressive glue, which could damage the fabric or the plastic.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers for whom plastic or decal belts are not enough
  • Advocates of faithful detail in an open cockpit
  • Collectors with an emphasis on realistic fabric
  • Builders who want to raise the realism of a model

This is not a complete model. The set does not contain glue, paints or a kit; it serves as an accessory to a base model.
