Product Article by Steve Bamford on Aug 5 2010

 

This latest release from Aires in a resin Martin Baker Mk.4-CA-2 ejection seat with photo etch seat belts for the 1/32 BAE Lightning.  1/32 is a big scale that permits a very high level of detail and this ejection seat is almost a kit in itself.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The kit itself is beautifully done and loaded with detail.  You then have the task of adding the photo etch seat belts and separate photo etch seat belt buckles to the resin seat.  Pose the seatbelts as you choose.  There are also resin ejection seat handles to add to the top of the seat.

Once this seat is painted and assembled, it will be the focal point of the cockpit in your next BAE Lightning model.  

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aires or from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of some of those retailers can be found here.
