Eduard FE1235 P-40N seatbelts STEEL ACADEMY 1/48 – seat belts for P-40N model

The precise Eduard FE1235 P-40N seatbelts STEEL ACADEMY 1/48 set is an indispensable accessory dedicated to plastic models of the Curtiss P-40N Warhawk aircraft in 1/48 scale produced by Academy. This set is part of a renowned series of photo-etched seatbelts made from stainless steel. Thanks to advanced technology, these parts feature exceptional detailing, scale accuracy, and outstanding durability while maintaining the appropriate assembly flexibility.

The P-40N Warhawk aircraft model represents the legendary fighter plane used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) as well as export customers, including Great Britain, the USSR, China, and Australia between 1943-1945, during the key phase of World War II. P-40N aircraft were widely employed in both the European and Asia-Pacific theaters, seeing action over China and North Africa, among others.

The offered Eduard FE1235 set allows for accurate replication of the characteristic multi-point seatbelts used in these combat aircraft. Thanks to the use of a professionally pre-painted photo-etched stainless steel plate, the modeler achieves the highest possible level of cockpit detail—a result hard to match with hand-painted belts from plastic or tape. The set contains all necessary elements, durable prints, and faithfully reproduced buckles, scales, and details that emphasize the historical accuracy of the model.
