The Mil Mi-4 was a Soviet transport helicopter widely used in the armies of Eastern Bloc countries and beyond. It entered service in the 1950s, taking part, among other things, in the Vietnam conflict as well as military operations in European and Asian countries. The Mi-4's crew cockpit was notable for its large visibility and characteristic, visible seatbelts, which are often omitted in standard plastic kits.

The Eduard FE1321 set accurately replicates the appearance of the original seatbelts — their layout, texture, and coloring. Thanks to modern photo-etching technology and high-quality steel, the modeler can achieve a realistic effect of wear, natural folds, or material creases, which significantly enhances the detailing inside the Mi-4 model.

This product is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers seeking to enrich their models with top-quality details, thereby improving the aesthetic of the final project. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2 (on a scale of 1-5) — assembling photo-etched accessories requires some precision but should not pose a challenge for those experienced with this type of elements.

The Eduard FE1321 Mi-4 seatbelts STEEL TRUMPETER 1/48 set is a key addition for modelers who care about authenticity and historical detail in Cold War-era aircraft models. With this set, the Mi-4 helicopter model will gain a completely new, professional appearance.
