About product

Steel harness straps for the American Buffalo

This separate small Eduard set contains the seat belts of the pilot only, but etched from steel and pre-printed in color. Steel differs from ordinary brass etch in its springiness: a strap can be bent into a soft curve, it keeps the shape and does not crack in the bend. It is the simplest way to give the seat in the cockpit some life.

What the belts belong to

Carrier fighters of the US Navy carried multi-point harnesses that in photographs of the period are almost always draped over the edge of the seat. It is precisely this element that makes a cockpit believable even when the rest of the interior stays as it came from the box. The American version of the Brewster had different fittings from the export machines.

How to work with steel

Separate the strap from the fret only just before fitting it. Make the bends over the round tip of tweezers, not over a sharp edge. It is glued with a minute amount of cyanoacrylate, and slower types give time to adjust the position. Wipe excess glue away before it dries, because on printed metal it would leave a dull patch. Work over a surface with a raised edge, so that the small part does not spring away.

Who it suits

  • modelers who build with the canopy slid back
  • builders content with the interior from the box
  • anyone looking for the simplest visible improvement
  • anyone interested in a quick job without sanding

The contents are a single small sheet of steel with instructions. The plastic parts are supplied by the kit.

FAQ

Steel is springier, holds a shaped sag better and does not break in the bend.

No, they are pre-printed. Do not lay paint on them.

It does not. There are only the belts in the package.

Rather not. They stand out most when the canopy is slid back.
