1:48 Z-126/226 seatbelts STEEL are photo-etched steel seat belts from Eduard for models of the Zlin Z-126 and Z-226 trainers in 1:48 scale. An accessory for the cockpit, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
Seat belts etched from steel, intended for the cockpit of models of the Zlin Z-126 and Z-226 trainers in 1:48 scale. Steel sheet differs from an ordinary brass etching in that it stays in the position you shaped it into once bent. That makes it possible to leave a belt draped naturally over the edge of the seat instead of standing taut like a strip of tin. On two-seat trainers the cockpit detail carries a lot of weight, because the glazing tends to be extensive and the interior shows from both sides. The manufacturer is the Czech company Eduard.
The Zlin Z-126 and Z-226 belong to the family of Czech training and aerobatic aircraft that followed on from the postwar Trener series. They were low-wing monoplanes with fixed landing gear and a piston engine, on which the powerplant, the shape of the canopy and the equipment changed step by step. The Z-226 was offered in several versions, a single-seat aerobatic one among them. The aircraft served both for basic training and for competition aerobatics, and in both roles they earned a good name thanks to their rugged construction. They appeared in service with flying clubs and in military training alike, and their color schemes are therefore very varied.
Before you cut the belts off, go through the drawing and work out which part belongs where. Make the bends around the edge of a pair of tweezers, not with a fingernail. Paint the seats and let them dry thoroughly before you fit the belts. Apply cyanoacrylate glue in the smallest possible amount, because surplus leaves a shiny mark on matte paint. With a two-seat cockpit, remember that the two seats must look consistent but not identical: a slight difference in the shape of the sag looks more natural. Finally, highlight the cockpit gently so that the belts do not merge into the background.
This is not an aircraft kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
