1:48 Seat belts RAF Sutton Harness Set (Hurricane, Spitfire)

RAF Sutton Harness 1:48 — 3D decal belts (Kits-World)

A set of full-color relief 3D decal seat belts from the British maker Kits-World for models of the British fighters Hurricane and Spitfire in 1:48 scale. It is neither a model nor a photo-etched part but a detailing accessory for the cockpit. The layered print captures the fabric texture of the straps and the metal buckles as well, so the seat gains a realistic look with no folding of photo-etch.

The real subject

The Sutton Harness was the typical four-point restraint system of British fighters of the Second World War. It is exactly these straps with their characteristic buckles that we see in the cockpits of Hurricanes and Spitfires from the Battle of Britain and from later periods.

Application tips

• Cut the straps out and apply them as a decal onto the seat and around it.
• A drop of cyanoacrylate glue helps them seat firmly over the edges.
• Fold the loose hanging sections naturally over the edge of the seat for a faithful impression.

Who it is for

• Builders of Hurricane and Spitfire models in 1:48 scale.
• Modelers who want realistic belts with no photo-etch.
• Beginners and advanced modelers alike who are saving time on cockpit detailing.

This is a detailing decal, not a kit. Paints, glue and the base model are not included in the package.
