About product

Seat belts for Italian fighters of the Second World War - Eduard photo-etched set, 1:48 scale

A set of color pre-printed photo-etched seat belts in steel from the Czech manufacturer Eduard. It is neither a kit nor a model of an aircraft - it is a detail accessory that replaces shapeless plastic or missing belts in the cockpit. The belts come printed in color from the factory, so they need no painting; you simply cut them from the fret, shape them and glue them onto the seat. Steel moreover holds the shape of a bend better than softer brass.

The real subject

The Italian Royal Air Force (Regia Aeronautica) used a number of elegant fighters in the Second World War, from machines with radial engines to the later types with powerful inline engines. Their cockpits had characteristic multi-point belts, which differed in look and layout from the British or German ones. True-to-life belts do more than anything else to give an open cockpit scale and realism.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Cut the part off with a sharp knife close to the fret and form the bends over the edge of a ruler or with a bending tool. Bond them with a tiny drop of super glue (cyanoacrylate), ideally the gel kind. Because of the size of the parts the set is meant rather for advanced modelers; tweezers and a magnifier come in handy. Protect the color printing from sanding and from aggressive thinners.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of Regia Aeronautica fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Advanced builders who want a realistic cockpit
  • Those who prefer ready color belts without painting
  • Collectors of Eduard photo-etched accessories

This is an accessory for the cockpit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. These are photo-etched steel seat belts for a cockpit. Neither the model of the Italian fighter nor the seat is included - the belts are added to an existing kit.

No. The belts come printed in color from the factory. You just cut them from the fret, shape them gently and glue them in with super glue. Repainting is not recommended, so that the printing is not damaged.

Steel photo-etched parts hold a formed bend better than softer brass, so the belt hangs naturally and does not spring back flat.
