Eduard FE1562 - 1:48 Beaufighter Mk.VI seatbelts - Steel

Coloured STEEL seatbelts for the 1/48 Beaufighter Mk.VI

Eduard FE1562 is a ZOOM photo-etched set designed for the Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI in 1/48 scale. It includes coloured STEEL seatbelts that replicate the harnesses used by the pilot and radar operator, adding an essential level of realism to the cockpit of this twin-engine fighter.

Set information

• Scale: 1:48
• Intended for: Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI
• Type: ZOOM – coloured STEEL seatbelts
• Contents: full crew harness set in pre-coloured PE

Assembly and use

The STEEL belts are pre-painted and extremely flexible, allowing them to drape naturally over the seats. Installation requires only careful bending and application with CA glue, resulting in a cockpit that appears far more detailed than with the kit parts alone.

Required tools

• Tweezers for precise placement
• Hobby knife
• Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue for attaching PE parts

About the intended aircraft

The Beaufighter Mk.VI served as a night fighter and strike aircraft, with a large two-seat cockpit where harness detail is clearly visible. This STEEL seatbelt set provides the refinement needed to portray the aircraft’s interior accurately.
