About product

Steel seat belts for the A-10A cockpit

A small separate item whose content is unambiguous from the name: belts for the seat, rendered in steel. In an open cockpit the seat tends to be the first thing a viewer looks at, and the plastic version usually looks far too thick. The metal version can be shaped so that it looks loosely draped over the edge.

Why the belts decide the impression

On a ground-attack aircraft with a clearly visible pilot's station the eye concentrates on a few square centimeters. Steel sheet holds a bend without springing back, so it is possible to create a naturally rippled belt and a loosely hanging end as well. It is exactly the irregularity that plastic cannot manage that gives the cockpit credibility in scale. The difference shows above all in a close-up photograph, where a plastic molding gives itself away by rounded edges and excessive thickness.

How to fit the belts

Dry-fit the part on the seat before shaping it. Make the bends gradually and rather repeatedly than with one strong squeeze. Thread the belt through the buckle before you glue it, because in a finished cockpit there will be no room left for that. The metal surfaces are not meant to be sanded, as the surface appearance would be lost. Wipe excess glue away before it dries.

Suitable for

  • Models with the canopy slid back, where the seat is on show
  • Builders who want a cockpit without coarse plastic elements
  • A quick refinement with no intervention in the rest of the build
  • Photographing a model close up
  • Collections of American support aircraft of recent decades

FAQ

It holds a bend without springing back, so a loosely rippled shape can be created. A plastic part is also usually far too thick for the scale.

During the build of the cockpit, before the space is closed by the canopy. Later you will no longer reach the seat.

That depends on the rendition of the particular item. Whether the surfaces are printed in color is not stated here.
