About product

Seat belts for the Spitfire Mk.IX: photo-etched set by Eduard, 1:48 scale

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

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX was one of the most successful British fighters of the Second World War. It arose as a quick answer to the German Fw 190 thanks to the more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series engine, and it served on every front. British fighters used distinctive straps with metal fittings, and a faithful etched rendering of them brings the cramped Spitfire cockpit to life.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Cut the part off close to the fret with a sharp knife and shape the bends over the edge of a ruler or with a bending tool. Bond it with a tiny drop of super glue (cyanoacrylate), ideally the gel kind. Because of the size of the parts the set suits more advanced modelers; tweezers and a magnifier help. Protect the printed color against sanding through and against aggressive thinners.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the Spitfire Mk.IX in 1:48 scale
  • Advanced builders who want a realistic cockpit
  • Anyone who prefers ready color-printed belts with no painting
  • Collectors of Eduard photo-etched accessories

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

FAQ

No. These are photo-etched steel seat belts for the cockpit. The Spitfire Mk.IX model itself and the seat are not included: the belts are added to an existing kit.

No. The belts are color-printed at the factory. Just cut them from the fret, shape them gently and glue them in with super glue. Overpainting is not advisable, as it would damage the print.

Steel etched parts keep the shape they are bent into better than softer brass, so the belt looks naturally slack instead of springing back flat.
