Historical Information about the Super Etendard

The Super Etendard is a carrier-based fighter-attack aircraft produced by the French company Dassault Aviation. It entered service in 1978 and remained in use for decades with the French Marine Nationale as well as the armed forces of Argentina, Iraq, and several other countries. Its most famous combat deployment was during the Falklands War (1982), where Argentine Super Etendards used Exocet missiles to attack British ships. The aircraft saw active duty throughout the Cold War period and afterwards, up until the early 21st century.

Details of the Eduard 49792 Set

The seatbelts from the Eduard STEEL series are made from precisely color-printed photo-etched stainless steel. They stand out not only for their detail in representing the stitching and buckles, but also for the material's great flexibility – they can be bent and shaped, perfectly conforming to the pilot's seat in the KITTY HAWK model. The set includes a complete set of belts for one aircraft; each buckle and strap is clearly separated to facilitate assembly.
