How many of us who have worked with
photo etch parts have experienced this?
You ever so carefully attempt to separate that tiny little part from the fret
and "plink", there it goes! The next twenty minutes are spent on your
hands and knees trying to reclaim the piece from the jaws of the carpe
monster, and if you're like me muttering under your breath about what a
"fun, relaxing" hobby this is.
FOTOCUT
offers two German Pedals and
Seat Belt Hardware sets, one set is for E and earlier variants while the other
addresses F and later variants. Each set contains enough parts for two
models.
FOTOCUT products are really nicely
done and really easy to use, they're offered in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scales.
Fred doesn't have a website but a list of us his products is available here:

I'd like to thank Fred Hultberg for the review samples and his generous
sponsorship of the Bf 109 Group Build run at ARC last year.
Fred Hultberg of FOTOCUT has come up with a great solution that should make life
easier on those of us who use photo etch details, fretless photo etch parts. The
pieces are mounted on a flexible backing, when you need a part simply peel it
off. No snipping, cutting or trimming rough edges down. Although this review
focuses on Bf 109 parts, Fred provides a full line of parts from WW I aircraft
all the way up to the F-4 if you're not a fan of Luftwaffe stuff.
Check his site for other Bf-109
photo etch items.
