The photo-etched steel seat belts 1:48 A-10C seatbelts STEEL from Eduard complete the pilot's seat of a Thunderbolt II attack aircraft model. It is a separate accessory for a kit, not a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set handles a single but clearly visible detail: the seat belts of the pilot's seat of an A-10C model in 1:48 scale. The material is not the usual brass but steel, which with belts is a fundamental difference. A steel belt holds its shape once bent, so it can be left draping freely, thrown over the seat back or twisted the way it would lie in a real cockpit. The parts are pre-painted, that is, with the printing finished including the fittings, so there is no need to paint miniature buckles.
The seat is a dominant element in an open cockpit and the plastic rendering usually impoverishes it: the belts are either missing or suggested in relief. Metal belts stay thin for the scale, cast a shadow of their own and look soft, like fabric, in an otherwise hard plastic interior. It is one of the simplest modifications with an immediately visible result.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American attack aircraft for close support of ground forces, recognizable by the engines mounted high on the sides of the rear fuselage, the twin vertical tails and the armored tub protecting the pilot. The A-10C version went through a modernization of the cockpit equipment. The pilot's station is adapted to long missions at low altitude, which is reflected in the arrangement of the seat and the restraints as well.
Build the seat first, paint it and let it dry thoroughly. Cut the parts out of the fret with a scalpel, not by breaking them off. Make the bend over a sharp edge or in a bending tool and shape the sag over a rounded tool. Bond with super glue in a minimal amount; any excess turns white and in 1:48 scale that is immediately visible. Do not overcoat the printing with aggressive clear coats.
The set is an accessory for a kit, not a standalone model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
