Eduard FE1303 Spitfire Mk. XII seatbelts STEEL AIRFIX 1/48

Eduard FE1303 Spitfire Mk. XII seatbelts STEEL are designed for Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XII fighter aircraft models in 1/48 scale, produced by Airfix. This set, which belongs to the category of precision model accessories made from photo-etched parts, is crafted from ultra-thin stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and a correctly replicated scale of all details.

This product allows for advanced realism upgrades of plastic models, offering extremely detailed seatbelts that match the actual equipment used in legendary RAF WWII fighters. The Spitfire Mk. XII was the first variant of this aircraft with the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, used operationally in 1943–1944, particularly in missions over the English Channel against German reconnaissance and fighter aircraft.

The seatbelts are designed based on authentic patterns used in Spitfires, accurately reflecting both the structure and the color of the original straps and buckles. These planes mainly served in British RAF squadrons, influencing the course of air operations during World War II. The Eduard FE1303 set allows you to recreate the cockpit of the Spitfire Mk. XII in a historical manner, perfectly complementing Airfix models in this scale.
