Martinnfb Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Oh well, hurt feelings aside, FM belts are easy to apply with a use of normal glue and you can cold mould them into desired shape. 2
Bomber_County Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 HGW do belts ........ http://hgwmodels.cz/en/blog/news/june-2018-newsletter probably a Europe thing....... 1
BlrwestSiR Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 I'm the opposite of you Martin. I can't get the Fine Molds belts to work for me at all. They kept breaking on me whenever I tried to bend/shape them. I gave all of mine away. Harv, I have a couple lap belts that I didn't use I can send you if that makes it easier on your eyes. They're assembled and ready to go. Easy enough to slip in an envelope. Let me know. 1

Bill_S Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Those HGW belts can be a PITA, Harv - but they're worth it! 1
harv Posted October 16, 2018 Author Posted October 16, 2018 yes they are. After assembly, I did give them a dark wash. I think they came out ok........Harv 1
DocRob Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Hi Harv, it makes things easier to assemble the HGW belts while the PE is still on the fret. It defiddles the whole process. A thing I learned through a very kind member in this place . Cheers Rob 2
BlrwestSiR Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 The extra belts are on their way Harv. Call it a belated birthday gift Carl 2

The way to bend the FineMold belts without breaking them is to hold the piece up to a hot light bulb with a pair of tweezers for about 20-30 seconds then bend it. Works for me. 2

BlrwestSiR Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Harv, great to hear the belts arrived. Can't wait to see you make use of them. Carl 1
