F/A-18, T-45 Seat belts Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDP72023

Metallic Details MDP72023 3D Decals provide seat belt details intended for the ejection seats used on 1/72 T-45 Goshawk and F/A-18 builds. The focus is modern-seat hardware: raised 3D belt parts are intended to keep buckle shapes and strap routing visible in a compact 1/72 cockpit, where flat markings may be less noticeable once the canopy is installed.

This set is designed for detailing the ejection seats of T-45 and F/A-18 model projects in 1/72. Seats are not included—only the belt elements—so compatibility depends on how closely your kit seat represents the relevant seat type and whether molded-on belts need to be removed first.

For modelers: finish the seat paintwork and apply a smooth clear coat before using the belts. Align the main hardware first, then place lap and shoulder straps in short steps with minimal water. Allow full drying time, then protect with a light clear coat before adding subtle shading.

FAQ

Are seats included in this set?

No. The set includes only 3D decal seat belt elements.

Will this work on any 1/72 F/A-18 or T-45 kit?

It is intended for 1/72 projects, but seat shapes and belt detail vary by kit. Check your seat style and remove molded belts if needed.

What’s the best way to keep belts aligned in 1/72?

Use a smooth sealed base, position the central hardware first, then place straps in small sections. Let everything dry fully before sealing with a light clear coat.
