Upgrade your 1/20 F1 cockpit with authentic harness detail

The Tamiya 12638 Seat Belt Set F is aimed at modellers who want precise cockpit detail on 1/20 Grand Prix subjects. Suited to late 1990s and more recent Formula 1 kits, the set focuses on improving the interior realism of display builds.

Accurate 6-point buckles for scale realism

Included are finely made 6-point photo-etched buckles that replicate racing harness hardware. The gateless PE style produces a neat buckle silhouette that looks convincing at display scale.

Choice of belt colours and logo stickers

Three cloth-like belt colours are supplied - red, blue and black - so you can match team liveries or create custom looks. The set also contains four different logo stickers for added interior detail.

Compatibility with classic 1/20 Ferrari kits

Designed to suit a number of well-known 1/20 Ferrari Formula 1 models, including the Ferrari F1-2001, Ferrari F2001 and Ferrari F60, this set is useful for builders refining cockpit authenticity.

  • Scale: 1/20
  • Material: Photo-etched metal, cloth-like stickers

Ordered 14 Tamiya kits from RCJAZ. All items arrived in good condition including the original kit box. Items must have also been well taken care of before sale. I'm happy with that. The customer service team is also quick to respond to emails as per m

Hi RCJAZ, Have just received Fujimi kit 09116, which is a substitute for an out of stock item (Fujimi 90113). Delivery times for goods purchased from your website are excellent, as is your service, and I would be happy to recommend your store to anyone.

Are the belts easy to align in the cockpit?

With patient dry-fitting and small alignment marks, the cloth-like stickers can be positioned accurately. Use fine tweezers and work from the centre out to keep symmetry.

Can the buckles be weathered for realism?

Yes. Light washes and metallic dry-brushing work well on the PE buckles to simulate wear. Keep treatments light to maintain the fine detail.

Is extra trimming required for certain seats?

Depending on the seat shape, trimming of the sticker belts may be necessary for a tidy fit. Test-fit each piece and trim small amounts until the belt lies flat.

Will these parts alter kit assembly?

The set is intended as a detail-up accessory and does not require major kit modifications. Plan the installation before final assembly to avoid access issues.

Any tips for handling thin photo-etch?

Support the PE parts on a hard surface when bending and use sharp, precise tools. Minimise force and work slowly to prevent unwanted kinks or breakage.
