The Eduard 33199 I-153 Chaika seatbelts STEEL ICM seatbelt set is a high-quality modeling accessory created for enthusiasts of historical aviation. It is intended for Polikarpov I-153 "Chaika" fighter models in the popular 1:32 scale, manufactured by the ICM company.

This aircraft was widely used mainly in the late 1930s and at the beginning of World War II, especially during clashes with Japan in the Far East, the Winter War with Finland, and in early campaigns against Nazi Germany. Eduard’s seatbelts are based on preserved documentation and museum examples of original cockpit equipment.
