1:48 Hurricane Mk. IIc seatbelts STEEL

Eduard 1:48 Hurricane Mk. IIc seatbelts STEEL

This set contains the seat belts of the pilot's seat, made by etching from thin steel sheet. The STEEL range is printed in color from the factory and has a self-adhesive layer, so there is no varnishing and no hunting for glue. This is not an aircraft kit but a fine detail accessory that replaces the flat or simplified belts from a plastic kit and brings the interior of the cabin markedly to life.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIc was a British fighter from the period of the Second World War whose armament consisted of four 20 mm cannons. The pilot's seats of the fighters of the day were fitted with fabric straps with metal buckle fittings, whose faithful reduction adds realism to a model.

Use and tips

• Separate the parts carefully from the carrier fret with a sharp knife.
• Steel is malleable, so the belts can be formed with a natural sag and ripple.
• The self-adhesive layer holds at once; the strength of the joint can be raised with a drop of super glue.
• The color print can be tuned with fine toning or by bringing out the fittings.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want to raise the level of the cabin quickly and without varnishing.
• Builders of fighters in 1:48 scale interested in interior detail.
• Beginners and the advanced alike, thanks to the self-adhesive form.

The set contains the seat belts only. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
