The Tempest Mk. II is a British fighter aircraft, a development of the famous Hawker Typhoon. It served primarily in the Royal Air Force at the end of World War II and in the early postwar years, taking part in numerous patrol and offensive missions. The advanced pilot’s cockpit equipment required reliable, sturdy seatbelts to increase crew survivability in emergency situations.

The presented Eduard 32906 set, manufactured using photo-etching technology in 1:32 scale, offers unrivaled detail and realism – the belts are painted and partially flexible, which makes them easier to shape and fit to the pilot’s seat. The use of steel sheet ensures durability and an exceptionally thin profile, unattainable with traditional modeling materials. The kit includes complete shoulder and lap belts as well as buckles and mounting details.

This product is recommended both for advanced modelers wanting to achieve a museum-quality cockpit representation, and historical aviation enthusiasts striving for an accurate recreation of this legendary fighter. It significantly enhances the realism of the cockpit interior, outperforming standard plastic kit components.

Assembly difficulty level: 3/5 – basic experience with photo-etched parts is recommended.
