Are the seat belts flexible?
The seat belts are made of steel and are pre-formed to represent a realistic drape, offering some flexibility for positioning.
What age is this product recommended for?

What tools are typically needed for installation?

Can I use this set on a different brand's P-51D kit?
While minor modifications might allow it, the set is specifically engineered for Tamiya 1:32 P-51D Mustang kits. Fit on other brands is not guaranteed and may require significant work.
Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit perfectly.
Gently sand or trim the contact points with a hobby knife or fine-grit sandpaper. Dry-fit repeatedly to ensure alignment before applying adhesive.
Pre-painted detail is damaged during handling.
Use fine-tipped tweezers for handling. If minor paint damage occurs, consider touch-up painting with a very fine brush and appropriate acrylic model paint, matching the color as closely as possible.
Adhesive is not bonding the steel seat belts.
Ensure the contact surfaces on the steel belts are clean and free of oils. Use a good quality cyanoacrylate (super glue) and hold the parts firmly until cured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This set is designed specifically for Tamiya 1:32 scale P-51D Mustang model kits. Ensure you are using one of these compatible kits before attempting installation.
Setup:
- Preparation: Carefully remove the parts from the Eduard packaging. Use a sharp hobby knife or sprue cutters for clean removal from the sprue.
- Fitting: Test-fit the instrument panel and seat belts into your Tamiya P-51D Mustang kit's cockpit. Minor trimming or sanding with fine-grit sandpaper might be required for optimal fit. This is a common step in aftermarket accessory installations.
- Assembly: Use a quality plastic cement or CA (super) glue suitable for styrene models to attach the parts. For the steel seat belts, a small amount of CA glue is often recommended.
Care:
- Handle parts with care, especially the pre-painted surfaces, to avoid chipping.
- Store the set in its original packaging or a suitable compartment box to prevent damage or loss of small parts.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which could affect the paint and materials.
