Eduard 49787 P-40B seatbelts STEEL AIRFIX 1/48

Eduard 49787 P-40B seatbelts STEEL AIRFIX 1/48 is a set of exceptionally precise pilot seatbelts dedicated to the Airfix P-40B model in 1/48 scale. This product is an excellent choice for modelers who wish to faithfully recreate the details of the American Curtiss P-40B fighter cockpit.

High Quality and Realistic Look of 1/48 Scale Belts

The seatbelts are made from high-grade, pre-colored STEEL photo-etched metal. Thanks to the use of photo-etching technology, the result is extremely thin, flexible, and at the same time durable elements that perfectly imitate real safety belts used in WWII aircraft. The set is mainly intended for P-40B models produced by AIRFIX, but it also fits other models of this aircraft in this scale.

History of the Curtiss P-40B Aircraft

The Curtiss P-40B was an American fighter aircraft used primarily by the United States Air Force and Allied forces during World War II (1939-1945). This machine took part in, among others, battles in China (the famous Flying Tigers unit), North Africa, as well as on the European and Pacific fronts. An extremely important element of the pilot’s cockpit were the seatbelts—one of the key details for accurately recreating the aircraft’s interior in a model.
