About product

Eduard 1:48 Handley Page Hampden B Mk.I - steel seat belts (for ICM)

This product is not an airplane kit but a small photo-etched accessory from Eduard. It is intended for a model of the Handley Page Hampden B Mk.I bomber in 1:48 scale from ICM, whose plastic seats are left without belts. The set is therefore a straightforward way of adding the missing detail.

Why steel belts

Ordinary photo-etched belts in brass are springy and tend to straighten out partly after being bent. A steel etch, by contrast, keeps its shape: a belt once bent over the edge of the seat or draped loosely along the floor stays exactly where you put it. It is precisely the natural sag and slight waviness of a belt that makes an interior believable. The parts are also pre-colored, so the faithful colors of the straps and of the metal buckles are printed straight onto the etch and the belts do not have to be painted.

Fitting

  • Cut the parts off the fret with a sharp knife on a hard surface; steel is harder than brass and cannot be snapped off.
  • Shape them with tweezers and a toothpick: bend the belts gradually so that smooth waves form rather than sharp creases.
  • Glue with super glue or with photo-etch adhesive; a minimal amount is enough.
  • Do not varnish the pre-colored parts; to unify them with the interior, only bring the shadows out lightly with a wash.

Who the seatbelts are for

  • Builders of the Hampden B Mk.I in 1:48 from ICM, whose cockpit has no belts.
  • Modelers who want a realistic interior with a minimum of work and no painting.
  • Those who build the model with an open cockpit or with the crew positions exposed.

This is not an airplane model but an accessory for another kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. The package contains only the photo-etched seat belts. The Handley Page Hampden B Mk.I kit in 1:48 scale from ICM has to be bought separately.

A steel etch keeps its shape after being bent, whereas brass is springy and tries to straighten out. That makes it easy to create a natural sag and waviness in the strap.

No. They are pre-colored: the colors of the straps and of the buckles are printed straight onto the etch. You only cut them off, shape them and glue them on.

With super glue or with a dedicated photo-etch adhesive. Cement for polystyrene does not hold on metal.
