Eduard SS582 Seatbelts Luftwaffe WWII fighters STEEL 1/72

Eduard SS582 Seatbelts Luftwaffe WWII fighters STEEL 1/72 is a high-quality seatbelt set designed for Luftwaffe WWII fighter aircraft models in the popular 1/72 scale. The product comes from the renowned Czech manufacturer Eduard, recognized as a leader in providing modeling accessories that enhance model details and raise the level of realism.

The set is made from thin, precisely photo-etched steel, ensuring both exceptional durability and flexibility during handling. The parts are already pre-colored using offset printing, eliminating the need for additional painting and impressing with excellent detail. The set is dedicated to German fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and other aircraft used by the Luftwaffe between 1939 and 1945, from a wide range of single-seat combat aircraft.

Historically, German fighters during WWII were a key air force operating on both the Eastern and Western Fronts as well as in the defense of the Third Reich's territory. The original Luftwaffe seatbelts were responsible for pilot safety during dynamic aerial maneuvers and kept the pilot secured in the cockpit during sudden course changes or crisis situations.
