Mil Mi-24P seatbelts STEEL 1:48 is a separate Eduard photo-etched set containing the crew seat belts made of steel.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set has a single job: to replace the missing or coarsely molded seat belts in the seats of the model. The mention of steel in the name refers to the material of the etched sheet. Steel is stiffer than brass and harder to bend, but it holds its shape throughout handling, so a belt once arched will not stop draping over the seat even after several further modifications to the model.
An empty seat without straps is one of the most conspicuous shortcomings to catch the eye on a finished model. On a helicopter with a glazed forward section the interior is clearly visible and the viewer's eye immediately connects empty seats with unfinished work. The belts also give the whole compartment scale: the fine buckles and stitched strips give a comparison from which it only then follows how small that compartment really is.
Leave the belt on the fret until you have thought the shape through. Make the arch over a round object, for instance over the shank of a drill bit; a sharp fold looks unnatural, a strap is supposed to drape. Steel puts up more resistance when shaped, so press gradually and rather in several goes. Fix the ends with a dot of super glue and straighten the buckles with fine-tipped tweezers. A brush will manage the painting: a primer for metal, then the shade of the strap and finally the small metal fittings.
