Mike Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Mosquito Mk.VI Seatbelts STEEL (32921 for Tamiya) 1:32 Eduard Tamiya's new FB.Mk.VI with the gun nose completes the set for Tamiya, and it's a lovely kit, as is the earlier glass-nosed variant. This set is a replacement for the unpainted kit seatbelts, and arrives in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between. In case you don't already know, they are Photo-Etch (PE) steel, and because of their strength they can be etched from thinner material, which improves realism and flexibility in one sitting. Coupled with the new painting method that adds perceived extra depth to the buckles and other furniture by shading, they are more realistic looking and will drape better than regular brass PE. The sheet is larger due the Mossie being a two-seater, so you get two complete sets of belts, with the shoulder belts made up from two main parts plus the metal strengthening part, which differs between the pilot and navigator, the pilot's being the wider of the two. The lap belts are each one piece, and their attachment point on the seats is shown in blue on the final diagrams.
