About product

Steel belts for the seats of the F-14D

This accessory brings the crew's seat belts for a model of the Grumman F-14D carrier fighter in 1:48 scale. The material is steel sheet, which the manufacturer supplies already colored, so that once formed the straps go straight into the seats. Behind them stands Eduard, a brand based in Obrnice in the Most district.

Why steel in particular

Steel sheet holds its form considerably more obediently than brass. A strap can be waved so that it looks loosely thrown over the edge of a seat, and it does not spring back flat. It is this detail that decides most with an open cockpit, because a viewer's eye goes to the seats first. The Tomcat also has its seats one behind the other, so the belts are seen twice.

Forming, step by step

The straps are first separated from their frame, then drawn between the fingers over the rounded tip of a pair of tweezers, which gives them a natural sag. The buckles and clasps are folded sharply over the edge of a steel rule. The joints are held by super glue applied in spots; PVA glues have not proved themselves on smooth metal. Finished harnesses will take a light wipe of pigment, which knocks back the unnatural sheen of the metal.

Suitable use

  • Models of the Tomcat finished with the canopy slid back
  • Completing plastic and resin seats alike
  • Modelers who go in for a well-worked interior
  • A quick upgrade without cutting into the structure of the fuselage
  • Combining with other cockpit parts from the same brand

FAQ

The crew's seat belts etched from steel. Other parts of the cockpit and the aircraft itself are not included.

No, they are supplied already colored. At most the shade of the buckles or a light soiling with pigment can be fine-tuned.

The belts are flat and pliable, so they can be laid on resin seats as well. The length sometimes has to be adjusted by trimming.

With the canopy closed only a little will be visible. The belts have the greatest effect on a model with an open cockpit or on a wreck on display.
