Grumman EA-6B Prowler seatbelts STEEL 1:48 are color-printed photo-etched seat belts in steel from Eduard. It is a separate accessory for the cockpit, not a kit or a full photo-etched set.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set holds just one thing, but in the best possible form: photo-etched seat belts for an aircraft cockpit. The STEEL designation means that the carrier material is steel instead of the usual brass. Steel photo-etch is more springy and, above all, holds its shape once bent, so a belt can convincingly be draped over the edge of a seat or left hanging loose without straightening itself out. The surface is color-printed including the buckles, so the laborious painting of small hardware is no longer needed. The manufacturer is the Czech firm Eduard.
The Grumman EA-6B Prowler was an American carrier-borne electronic warfare aircraft derived from the A-6 Intruder bomber. Unlike its two-seat predecessor it had a lengthened forward fuselage with a crew of a pilot and the operators of the jamming systems, which makes the cockpit an unusually extensive and clearly visible space. That is precisely why on a Prowler model it pays to invest more in the seats than elsewhere — with the canopies open, everything is visible.
First cut the parts off with a sharp knife or photo-etch nippers, and never break them out. Make the folds gradually and in small steps; steel takes more than brass, but a sharp break in the printed area can damage it. Glue the belts with super glue in the smallest of amounts, or with a glue for photo-etch; thinned cement for plastic does not hold on metal. A rewarding trick is to let the end of a belt hang loose over the side of the seat or over the frame — only an irregular, slightly wavy run of the belt looks genuine. To match it to the interior, it is a good idea to weather the belt lightly at the end with a dark wash.
It is an accessory for a model, not a kit in its own right. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
