Advantages of the Eduard FE1269 set

The seatbelts, made from ultra-thin, durable steel (STEEL), are factory-colored, requiring no painting and instantly giving the cockpit interior a unique, realistic appearance. The detail and precision of Eduard's manufacturing ensure a “real belt” effect even under close-up scrutiny. The use of steel belts allows for easy shaping and fitting to the pilot’s seat for a more authentic arrangement.
