Eduard FE1001 MiG-17F Seatbelts STEEL Hobby Boss 1/48

The Eduard FE1001 MiG-17F Seatbelts STEEL set is a high-quality accessory designed for the 1:48 scale MiG-17F aircraft plastic model, manufactured by the renowned Eduard company. This product was specifically created as a complement for Hobby Boss MiG-17F models, allowing for a significant increase in the level of detail in the cockpit interior.

Material and Manufacture

The seatbelts are made from high-quality, thin steel sheets, precisely photo-etched and factory pre-painted with remarkable attention to detail. Modern production technology ensures their flexibility and realism, impossible to achieve with standard plastic elements or textile tapes. The whole set is very thin, allowing for easy fitting to the model without adding excessive thickness.

Historical Information

The MiG-17F fighter jet is a Soviet supersonic jet aircraft that played a significant role during the Cold War. It was commonly used by the air forces of the USSR and allied countries—such as Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, China, and Vietnam. Developed in the 1950s, the MiG-17F gained fame especially during the Vietnam War, where it effectively competed with American aircraft.
