About product

1:48 Avro Lancaster B.I — photo-etched seat belts by Eduard

A detail set from the Czech maker Eduard in 1:48 scale, aimed at a single but very visible element of the cockpit: the crew harness. The Steel designation means the photo-etch is made of steel instead of the usual brass. Steel sheet is springier and keeps its shape after bending, so the belts look as if they were hanging loose over the seat and do not have to be laboriously shaped. The package is an accessory for a plastic kit and does not contain the model itself.

The real subject

The Avro Lancaster was a British four-engine heavy bomber in service from 1942. The B.I version used Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engines and was the most numerous variant of the type. The aircraft was distinguished by a bomb bay running the whole length of the fuselage, twin vertical tail surfaces and an unarmored, fairly cramped cockpit in which details such as seat belts show to good effect — especially on models built with the glazing open.

Building and painting tips

Steel photo-etch is springier than brass, so hold the parts with tweezers when separating them from the fret, or they will fly off. Cut on a hard surface with a sharp scalpel. If the belts are color printed, do not overspray them — the printed part is glued straight on, ideally with a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate or of PVA wood glue, which gives more time to adjust the position. You get a natural look by bending the belt slightly and letting it fall freely over the edge of the seat; bend the buckles last.

Who the set is for

  • builders of British Second World War bombers in 1:48 scale
  • modelers bothered by plastic belts, or by none at all in the box
  • those building a model with the entries and the glazing open
  • more experienced modelers working with photo-etched sheet

The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model or a substitute for one. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It means the photo-etch is steel instead of brass. Steel is springier and keeps its shape after bending, so the belt can easily be arranged into a natural sag.

No. It is only a set of harness belts for the cockpit. The 1:48 plastic kit has to be bought separately.

If you need belts for the whole crew, check the scope on the box and in the enclosed instructions.

If the parts are color printed, painting is not needed. Degrease bare steel photo-etch and cover it with a metal primer, otherwise the paint will not hold.
