BR48011 Albatros Seats with Belts
Two detailed resin seats with seat cushion and molded in seatbelts designed for all Albatros fighters. Why fight with bending and gluing photoetched seatbelts? Simply paint and install for a very realistic seat with naturally draped harness. Will also work for many other German WWI aircraft.

SUMMARY
