1:32 RAF Seatbelts (Sutton Harness)

Airscale RAF seat belts, the Sutton Harness type (1:32)

This photo-etched set from the British brand Airscale represents the pilot seat belts of the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the Sutton Harness type, common in the cockpits of Second World War aircraft. It is not a model but a detail accessory for the seat of a suitable kit in 1:32 scale.

About the Sutton Harness type

The Sutton Harness was the standard RAF restraint system with its characteristic converging arrangement of straps and a central buckle, used in British fighters and bombers alike.

Use

• The photo-etched belt parts are shaped and folded into a realistic form of straps.
• The buckle and the hardware match the Sutton Harness pattern.
• They are placed on the pilot seat and in the cockpit.

Who the set is for

• Modelers detailing the cockpits of British WWII aircraft in 1:32.
• More experienced builders used to working with photo-etched parts.
• Those who want a realistic seat without the flat belts from the kit.

This is an accessory for detailing; the kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
