The seat itself is cast in light grey resin and is flawless and crisp in every detail. The small resin plug is, as usual, cast at the base of the seat for easy removal and should not be difficult for even basic skill levels. There is also a separate oxygen bottle and separate launch rails. A very nice touch is the separate seat covers. One is standard USAF padded and the other depicts a sheepskin type so no more making your own dodgy lookalike needed here.

The etched fret covers the usual seat extras like handles and seatbelts.

The whole lot comes blister packed in their standard BRASSIN blister. The kinetic specific version is featured here but also available is the Tamiya version of the same F-16 Aces II seat,  product number 648001.

Very Highly Recommended indeed!
