Eduard FE1259 Vampire F.3 seatbelts STEEL AIRFIX 1/48

The Eduard FE1259 seatbelt set is designed for the 1/48 scale Airfix plastic model of the de Havilland Vampire F.3 aircraft. These seatbelts are made from high-quality thin metal (photoetched STEEL), ensuring exceptional manufacturing precision, remarkable detail realism, and easy placement on the pilot's seat. Thanks to the materials used, the belts are resistant to damage while remaining very malleable, allowing for realistic folding and a perfect fit to the shape of the seat.

The de Havilland Vampire F.3 aircraft was one of the first British jet designs, used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and other allied air forces. The F.3 version was primarily used in the late 1940s and early 1950s, during the post-war period and the so-called Cold War. The Vampire F.3 saw action, for example, patrolling Western European air zones in the first years of political tensions after World War II. Thanks to its technical merits and innovative solutions, the Vampire F.3 has secured a permanent place in the history of military aviation.

The Eduard FE1259 set is a dedicated photoetched detail intended for assembly in plastic scale models (assembly plastic models) in 1/48 scale, but it fits exclusively Airfix products, ensuring an excellent fit and easy installation. This is an additional element that significantly increases cockpit realism, thus enhancing the display value of the finished model.
