Every type of aircraft that has an ejection seat or explosive cartridges has a safety item that can be removed to make them safe to be around. That item is a Remove Before Flight safety pin. Every pin has a red tag attached to it so it can be removed before flight. Funny how that works.

Eduard has offered Remove Before Flight tags before in their normal line. They worked but they were very stiff. These new tags are much thinner and can be bent much more realistically.

Inside the usual Eduard packaging is one colored fret with coloring on both sides. The printed “Remove Before Flight” is only on one side. One set has some printing on the other side. The printing is crisp and looks great.

You will have to make the chords from wire. But that makes it easy to adjust the length of the flags.

If there is a downside to this set, it is that there are only a few of each type of tag. There are three No.1 style, three No.2 style, three No.3s, only two style 4, and three of style 5. Depending on your modeling subject you may need multiple sets.

The Remove Before Flight are essential to ‘finish’ off your model airplane or helicopter. The new STEEL tags are much more malleable than previous offerings. I would have liked to have a whole set of one type but that is a personal preference. These are a great addition to your model.

Highly recommended
