LööK set – pre-painted dashboard and steel seat belts

LööK is an Eduard series that combines a factory-painted dashboard with coloured steel seat belts. The dashboard, made of resin and a 3D-printed element, replaces the kit's plastic part and needs no painting of dials or labels. The seat belts are made of etched, factory-painted steel, which drapes well over the seat and falls naturally.

Assembly is simple: the pre-painted dashboard and belts are attached with cyanoacrylate glue. It is a quick way to noticeably raise cockpit realism without painting tiny details.
