Review by Steve Bamford on Sept 17 2009

 

This latest release from Aires features a complete resin and photo etch M.B. Mk F7 Ejection seat for any F-8 Crusader that used this seat.  

This detail set includes;

  • Resin ejection seat

  • Photo etch seat belts....20 parts just for the seat belts

  • Resin ejection grab handle above pilots head.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The photo etch is very well done....the seat belts are a kit in themselves and will require some careful work to install.  The headrest area of the seat is loaded with detail.....which is important since that is the area that shows the most.  The rest of the seat is also loaded with lovely detail, but some of that will sadly be hard to see once the seat is installed.

This is a very detailed resin seat and the photo etch seat belts will give it the level of delicate detail it needs to really make your Crusader stand out.

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.

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
