About product

Eduard 1:48 Lightning F.2A/F.6 — steel seat belts (STEEL)

This set from Eduard contains pre-colored photo-etched seat belts made of steel, intended for the cockpit of a model of the British BAC/EE Lightning fighter in the F.2A and F.6 versions in 1:48 scale. It is not an aircraft model but a small detail accessory that raises the fidelity of the interior of a finished kit.

Why the STEEL version is better

The steel version is springier and holds its shape better than ordinary brass photo-etch, so the belts can be given a realistic sag and fitted to the seat. The parts are pre-colored, so there is no laborious painting — the colors and the rendering of the buckles are printed directly on the photo-etch. The result is a faithful depiction of the harness of an ejection seat.

Use and handling

  • The belts are broken out of the photo-etched fret and shaped gently into a realistic sag.
  • They are bonded at points with super glue (cyanoacrylate, CA).
  • The pre-colored elements are used as they are; no painting is needed, although weathering can be added.
  • Tweezers and a sharp knife make the work easier; handle the small parts over a tray.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the Lightning in 1:48 who want a faithful cockpit.
  • Builders who prefer quick and realistic pre-colored belts with no painting.
  • Anyone interested in a detailed depiction of an ejection seat.

This is a detail accessory for a cockpit, not a complete model. The plastic kit, glue and tools are not included in the package. Take care when working with small steel parts.

FAQ

No. They are pre-colored — the colors and the buckles are printed directly on the steel. You only need to break them out, shape them and glue them in.

Steel is springier and holds its shape better, so the belts can be given a realistic sag over the seat and will keep the shape you choose.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate, CA), applied at points. Ordinary cement for plastic will not hold on metal.
