Title: Good source for VVS WWII seatbelts? Post by: jonbius on March 14, 2013, 02:02:29 PM As I've typically built US and British WWII fighters, I have plenty of photoetch seat belts for use in my inventory of parts. Now that I am branching into WWII Soviet subjects, I was wondering about the seatbelts used in various Russian fighters. Looking at some photoetch seats, I see some that resembled the British Sutton harness, while others resemble the US-style belts. And in searching for a fret of VVS photoetch belts, I've not had much luck with US suppliers.
What was the typical pattern for belts? Title: Re: Good source for VVS WWII seatbelts?

Extratech makes photoetched VVS seatbelts as well as buckles as a separate item if you want to make the belts yourself, in 1/72 and 1/48 scales. Here's the 1/48 version of the full belts: http://www.modelsforsale.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=238269-Extratech-Photoetch-Soviet-WW2-seat-belts-Scale-1/48-48102 John Title: Re: Good source for VVS WWII seatbelts?
