WWII-era German aircraft Seat Belts early WWII Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDP72020

Metallic Details MDP72020 is a 3D seat belt decal set for 1/72 aircraft cockpits, styled for early-war WWII-era German aircraft subjects. It is intended to add raised belt relief and buckle shapes that remain visible even in compact cockpit openings.

This set is useful when you want a consistent “early-war” harness look across multiple builds, without changing the seat parts. It can be applied to different kit seats with minor layout adjustments (seat shape kit-dependent).

The manufacturer positions this set for the 1939–1941 period and mentions aircraft types such as Ju 87, Ju 88, BV 138, Do 17, Fw 200, Bf 109, and Bf 110 (application and seat layout kit-dependent).

For modelers: paint and seal the seat first, then place the belts as the final cockpit step. Dry-place the lap belts to set alignment, then add shoulder straps and smaller sections. If your seat has prominent side bolsters, trim or segment placement slightly so the belt edges sit flat and don’t bridge corners.

FAQ

Are seats included in the set?

No. The set includes only 3D decals for seat belts; the seat is part of your model kit.

Will these belts fit any 1/72 cockpit seat?

The set is listed as universal for 1/72 aircraft kits, but seat shapes differ between toolings. Compare the belt layout to your seat and adjust placement if needed.

What helps keep the harness aligned in a small cockpit?

Start with the lap belts to establish symmetry, then add shoulder straps. Use the seat centerline as a reference and correct alignment before the decals fully set.
