About product

A photo-etched steel seat harness for the Macchi MC.202

This is not an airplane model but a set of seat harnesses of photo-etched steel for the Macchi MC.202 kit in 1:48 scale from the maker Italeri. The series code corresponds to the smaller version that Eduard lists as Zoom: the parts are pre-painted, so the modeler only shapes them and seats them.

Why photo-etch

A seat harness modeled in plastic looks as if hewn from stone, because fabric and metal buckles are the thickness of paper in scale. A photo-etched steel harness is thin, it can be bent and thrown over the edge of the seat and by its own shape it gives away that somebody sat in the cockpit. And that look of the seat is the first thing to catch the eye on a finished model with an open cockpit.

Usage tips

Cut the parts out of the sheet on a hard surface; do not break them out with your fingers. Make the bends in a bender or between two blades so that the edge comes out sharp and the same along its whole length. They are glued with cyanoacrylate, that is, super glue; apply it with a pin, not straight from the bottle. Before painting, degrease the metal and give it a primer for metal, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface. The plastic part the set replaces usually has to be sanded away first.

Who the set is for

  • modelers who build the Macchi MC.202 in 1:48 scale from Italeri
  • those who want a faithful seat without any brushwork
  • builders with an open cockpit
  • beginners in working with photo-etch, as a harness is the easiest way in

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted as photo-etched metal. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes, the Zoom range comes pre-painted. All that needs tuning are the edges and the cuts.

Steel is springier and keeps the shape you bend it into. The strap then stays folded over the edge of the seat.

For the Macchi MC.202 in 1:48 scale from the maker Italeri.

A harness is the easiest way into photo-etch. It calls for no cutting into plastic and it is glued on only at the end of the cockpit build.
