Eduard 1/48 Bf109F/G Seatbelts FABRIC
By Jacob Russell
This new multimedia set from Eduard (item number 49 066) is a pair of seatbelts for a Messerschmitt Bf109F/G. It is a collaboration between Eduard and HGW Models. Eduard provides the photo-etch parts and HGW provides the belts. According to their website the belts are made from "micro fiber foil," whatever that is.
The set provides one pair of belts, complete with anti-chafing pads. You can treat them just like p/e belts, in that you can gloss coat them, apply an oil wash, and seal that with a flat coat. You can also dry brush them, if so inclined, after the flat coat.
I like these belts. They are fiddly to assemble but they will drape more naturally over seats, which is my main complaint about p/e.
I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for providing the review sample.
