1:32 WWI Fighter Set - Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service Seat Belts.

Seat belts of the British air services of the First World War 1:32

A cockpit accessory in the form of a sheet with full-color printed three-dimensional seat belts in 1:32 scale from the manufacturer Kits-World. The version is aimed at the aircraft of the British Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service, that is two air services that operated side by side during the First World War before they merged into one.

What the belts bring to a model

British aircraft of that time had an open cockpit and an interior formed by a wooden or tube frame with fabric covering. The seat tends to be clearly visible once the model is finished and flat plastic belts cast onto the part rather give it away than adorn it. A colored three-dimensional print has a thickness of its own, the texture of fabric and hardware in the right shades, so the cockpit gains depth with no further work with a brush.

How to use the sheet

• Finish the cockpit including painting the wood and the weathering, then let it dry thoroughly.
• Cut the belts out with a sharp knife one at a time, always only at the moment you are about to glue them.
• Follow the instructions enclosed with the sheet, because the way of applying this type of print differs from classic decals.
• Place the belt asymmetrically, one half across the cushion and the other over the side, and the model will come to life.
• Unify the cockpit at the end with a matte clear coat so that the belts do not stand out by their sheen.

Who the accessory is for

For modelers building British aircraft of the First World War period in 1:32 scale and for everyone who wants a believable cockpit without folding and painting photo-etched sheet. Check before buying that the accessory matches the model you are building.

This is an accessory for modelers, not a kit. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
