Eduard has come out with several photo etch sets for the 1/32 Scale. This set provides new replacement Fabric seatbelts. Included are two frets, the first is a photo etch set of buckles and hardware and the second are fabric seatbelts.

The fabric belts are actual fabric. They have a paper backing that is easily removed by folding the belt to break the adhesion. Then you simply peel the backing off. Eduard suggest that you rub the fabric belt a few time between your fingers to break the stiffness and make the belt a little more pliable. Once this is done they are easier to work with.

The instructions are quite adequate to provide detailed information on part numbers and placement.

This kit contains 11 resin parts and one small photoetch sheet. The detail quality is to a very high standard, although the parts could have been better packaged. A couple where broken but easily fixed. There is very little flash or other imperfections. Once removed from the mold base the parts are ready to install. The parts will make a great ramp that can be built in the launch or transport position. A great price for such a fine accessory. Matched with a Natter it looks great and would make a fantastic diorama centerpiece.

I would highly recommend this to anyone. You can see in some of the pictures I have added my simple Natter (not included in the kit) and it looks great on the ramp, ready to launch.

Thanks go to Hauler for providing this kit for us to review.

The Kitty Hawk AH-1Z is a welcome addition for helicopter fans. It is a highly detailed model that comes with its own photo etch parts. So can Eduard add to that? Let’s see.

Packaged in a resealing package, the photo etch parts are brass, and this set is designed for the exterior of the model. The instructions are typical Eduard instructions. They are very easy to understand and read. Now what about the photo etch itself?
