Eduard photo-etched seat belts in 1:72 scale, in the steel version. They replace the missing or vaguely shaped belts in the cockpit of a model of a British aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
Seat belts hold the pilot in his seat, and in an open cockpit on a model they are immediately visible. This set is listed as the late type of Royal Air Force belts, that is the form used in the cockpits of RAF machines in the later part of the Second World War. A plastic seat usually has them only suggested, or does not have them at all, so an etched part is one of the simplest ways to lift a cockpit a class higher.
An etched fret in 1:72 scale with the belts and their hardware. According to the name it is the steel version rather than brass. Steel is harder, but that is exactly why it holds a formed bend: a loose end of a belt stays precisely where you bend it and does not droop while you finish fitting out the cockpit. The scope and the number of parts on the fret are given in the manufacturer's instructions.
Cut the parts with a sharp blade a little clear of the piece, then sand the remains of the tab so that the edge stays straight. Bend them over a straight edge, with flat-jawed tweezers or in a bending tool, and expect more resistance from steel than from brass. They are bonded with super glue applied in drops from a toothpick. If you are going to paint the belts, degrease the surface first and use a primer made for metal, otherwise the paint will not hold.
For a modeler building a 1:72 subject with an open cockpit who wants visible belts in it. The package contains an etched fret as listed by the manufacturer; paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
