Historical Information about the Su-30SM

The Su-30SM is a modern Russian 4++ generation fighter jet of the contemporary era, used primarily by the Russian Federation Air Force and some CIS countries. This aircraft entered service in 2014 and is actively used in ongoing conflicts, as well as in patrol missions and combat assignments in the 21st century.

Material and Quality

Eduard FE1151 photo-etched seatbelts are made from thin stainless steel, which ensures excellent durability and ease of shaping in 1/48 scale. The colored prints and three-dimensional texture allow for a realistic effect—in contrast to pressed plastic equivalents, these seatbelts much better represent the texture and folds of the material characteristic of the original Su-30SM aircraft belts.
