About product

Eduard steel seat harness for the A-20J/K Havoc in 1:32

A standalone photo-etched set which, according to the name, contains a harness made of steel for the crew seats of the twin-engine Douglas in the versions with a glazed nose. The contents are the seat harness, not airframe parts.

Why steel of all things

Steel photo-etch is more springy and stronger than brass. A steel strap can be formed into a natural sag over the seat back and will hold its shape without springing out during further work. It is exactly a convincingly fitted harness that turns an empty seat into an inhabited place, and in 1:32 scale you can see into the cockpit enough for that to pay off. The harness is at the same time the quickest way to move the impression of the interior along, even if you do nothing to the rest of the cockpit.

How to work the harness

Form it over a rounded object, for instance over the handle of tweezers or over a pencil, so that a smooth curve arises with no sharp kinks. Steel bends less readily than brass, so press on it steadily and rather in several attempts. Degrease the metal before painting and apply a primer. Glue the buckles and fittings to the ends one at a time, best with a minimal drop of super glue applied with the tip of a wire. Once dry, bend the strap slightly so that it looks softened and not like a strip of sheet metal.

Who the set is for

  • for building a cockpit without buying a more extensive photo-etched set
  • for models with the canopy swung open, where you can see into the seats
  • for bringing detail into an interior with a minimum of time
  • for a large scale, where the harness is clearly readable

It is a targeted accessory for the seats and does not replace the rest of the cockpit equipment.

FAQ

Steel is more springy and holds the sag once formed. A brass strap springs back or breaks more easily.

It does not. It contains only the harness for the seats; the rest of the cockpit equipment stays for another source.

Form the strap over a rounded object and avoid sharp kinks. Once dry, bend it slightly again.

It depends on whether the parts are printed. If you paint them yourself, start with degreasing and a primer.
