About product

HGW 1:48 P-39 Airacobra - 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 American fighter the P-39 Airacobra in 1:48 scale.

The real subject

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was an American fighter of the Second World War with an unusual layout: the engine sat behind the pilot, in the middle of the fuselage, and a nosewheel undercarriage gave the machine a good view while taxiing. In the nose it carried a heavy cannon, and the cockpit was entered through automobile-style doors at the side. The Soviet Air Force used it in great numbers. In its cockpit the seat belts were a conspicuous detail.

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.
