Yahu Models 1:72 – PZL P.23 / P.42 / P.43 seat belts

A photo-etched set of seat belts from Yahu Models in 1:72 scale for the Polish aircraft of the PZL P.23 line and the derived P.42 and P.43 versions. It is not a kit, nor a whole interior, but a small accessory for the cockpit, which replaces the missing or coarsely rendered belts from a plastic kit.

The real subject

The PZL.23 Karas was a Polish single-engine light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft of the second half of the 1930s. Its design also gave rise to the export and development versions P.42 and P.43. Faithfully rendered belts are among the details that raise the impression of scale fidelity in the cockpit.

Usage tips

Carefully separate the parts from the fret and clean up the edges. The photo-etched sheet can be gently shaped so that the belts look naturally draped over the seat. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). If the belts are not painted from the factory, paint them in a matching shade and bring up the buckles with drybrushing.

Who the accessory is for

• Modelers building the PZL P.23 / P.42 / P.43 in 1:72 scale
• Anyone interested in a realistic cockpit with faithful belts
• Those who want to replace the coarse belts from a plastic kit
• Collectors with an emphasis on the detail of the pilot's compartment

This is an accessory (photo-etched seat belts), not a model of an aircraft. The kit itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
