About product

Restraint belts for the cockpit of the de Havilland Vampire, 1:32 scale

The accessory concentrates on the pilot's seat, specifically on its restraint system. The Vampire has a fairly roomy cockpit with a well-glazed canopy, so that the inside stays nicely readable even when it is closed and every simplified element inside tells.

When it makes sense

On 1:32 models the difference between a molded relief of belts and a restraint that can be laid into a free shape is apparent even at a passing glance through the canopy. And if you plan to display the machine with the canopy slid back or with the seat lowered, the detail of the seat becomes the main point to which the eye slides first.

The real subject

The Vampire was only the second British jet fighter brought into service and the first to manage a crossing of the Atlantic. It was powered by a de Havilland Goblin centrifugal-flow engine, housed in a short nacelle with a mixed wood-and-metal structure that built on experience with the Mosquito. The horizontal tail surface was carried by twin booms running back from the wing. The machine saw a whole range of versions, from fighters and fighter bombers through trainers to carrier forms, and it served in dozens of countries long after the end of the war.

Recommended procedure

  • Finish the interior in color first; the restraint comes in only at the very end.
  • Carry the parts with a moistened tip or with tweezers, so that they do not fly off.
  • Shape the bends gradually, not in one abrupt movement.
  • Dose the glue with the tip of a wire, as an excess is hard to remove.

The set suits modelers who watch over the look of the cockpit in a large scale and want it free of distracting simplifications.

FAQ

For models of the de Havilland Vampire jet fighter in 1:32 scale. A particular kit is not given in the name.

The Vampire has a well-glazed canopy, so the inside stays readable. The accessory stands out most, though, on a model with the canopy slid back.

It depends on the particular model. If the seat has a molded relief of the restraint, it is customary to remove it carefully and level the surface.
