1:48 Bristol Bulldog Mk.II - Seatbelts

HGW 1:48 seat belts - Bristol Bulldog Mk.II

This set from the manufacturer HGW is not a kit but a detail accessory for the cockpit. It contains seat belts made of fabric, as a rule laser cut, with photo-etched metal buckles and clasps. The fabric belts are pliable and can be bent realistically, so the open cockpit of the British interwar Bristol Bulldog Mk.II fighter biplane in 1:48 scale gains a faithful and lively look.

Use and fitting

• Take the fabric parts out carefully and adjust the shade if needed.
• Bend the photo-etched buckles and fit them according to the instructions.
• Assemble the belts and glue them onto the seat in the cockpit.
• In an open cockpit the belts are clearly visible, so careful assembly is worth it.

Who the set is for

• Builders of interwar aircraft in 1:48 scale.
• Modelers who want a faithful, clearly visible biplane cockpit.
• More experienced modelers working with fabric and photo-etched parts.

The accessory is supplied as a set of parts for assembly; the paints and the glue are not included in the package.
