About product

Photo-etched seat belts 1:48 F-14A Tomcat

A photo-etched set of seat belts in 1:48 scale for the F-14A Tomcat aircraft from the Czech manufacturer Eduard. It is not a kit but a narrowly focused accessory that deals with a single, yet very conspicuous detail of an open cockpit. The designation STEEL in the name refers to the steel execution of the belts, which can be shaped into a convincingly draping form and holds it. Plastic or decal belts come across as flat beside them.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14A Tomcat was a two-seat carrier fighter of the US Navy with a variable-geometry wing. The crew consisted of the pilot and the weapon systems officer, both on ejection seats, so the restraint system is among the prominent elements of the interior on this type. The A version was the most numerous and served from the 1970s for several decades.

Usage tips

Separate the belts with a sharp knife on a cutting mat and fold them over a rounded tool, so that they have a natural sag. It helps the credibility to leave one belt thrown over the edge of the seat. Degrease the metal before painting and use a primer. Finish the cockpit and seat the belts last, so that they are not distorted during the further work. Choose tweezers with fine points.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who build a model with an open canopy and a visible interior.
  • Builders of modern carrier aircraft in 1:48 scale.
  • Anyone interested in a marked improvement in the look of a cockpit for little effort.
  • Modelers who already have experience of bending fine metal parts.

FAQ

According to the name these are seat belts for a cockpit in 1:48 scale. The exact list of parts does not follow from the name.

Metal can be bent into a natural sag and keeps the shape, so the belts do not come across as flat like a molded relief.

With super glue applied in a minimal amount, best of all once the cockpit has been finished and painted.

It is not. It is an accessory for a plastic kit, which has to be obtained separately.
