About product

What the set contains

Photo-etched seat belts for the cockpits of American Second World War aircraft in 1:48 scale. The material is steel, which keeps its shape after bending considerably better than brass, so a strap thrown over the edge of a seat or hanging freely over its rim stays exactly where you put it.

Why change the belts

In an open cockpit the seat tends to be the most exposed part, and belts molded into plastic are usually just shallow relief with no thickness of their own. A thin metal part looks more convincing simply because it has a real material thickness and can be moved into the position a belt had in the cockpit of a parked aircraft.

  • 1:48 scale
  • steel as the material, holds a bend
  • seat belts for the cockpits of American Second World War machines
  • suitable as an accessory to a plastic kit

How photo-etch is worked with

Separate the parts with a sharp blade on a hard surface and sand the remains of the tab with fine abrasive paper. Make the bends in a bending tool or over a sharp edge; steel will take even a later adjustment of shape. It is glued with super glue applied drop by drop on the tip of a toothpick. Degrease bare metal before painting and spray it with a primer, otherwise the paint holds badly on it.

Who it is for

The set is for modelers who are building American Second World War aircraft in 1:48 scale and want a more detailed cockpit. The package contains photo-etched parts only; the kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Photo-etched seat belt parts only. The kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

Super glue applied drop by drop, best on the tip of a toothpick. Modeling cement for polystyrene does not hold on metal.

Steel photo-etch keeps its shape after bending, so you can easily give a strap a sag or fold it over the edge of a seat and it will stay there.

Models of American Second World War aircraft in 1:48 scale. The position of the belts in the cockpit differs from type to type, so follow the manufacturer's instructions and the documentation for your own machine.
