1:72 WW2 seatbelts – France

Photo-etched belts of French aircraft 1:72

This is a detail photo-etched set, not a model. It contains seat belts matching French aircraft of the Second World War period in 1:72 scale. The color photo-etched belts replace the missing or simplified parts in the cockpit with a thin, faithful substitute.

What the set is for

In the small 1:72 scale, seat belts are among the details that bring an otherwise empty seat to life the most. Color photo-etch saves laborious painting and gives the cockpit a realistic look.

Usage tips

• Cut the small parts off with a sharp knife; do not work freehand.
• Shape the belts smoothly so that they look like flowing cloth.
• Glue them with super glue, a tiny drop at a time.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of French aircraft of the Second World War in 1:72 scale.
• More experienced builders used to small photo-etched parts.

This is an accessory to a plastic model. The model itself and the glue are not included in the package.
