The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  This set mainly consists of the ejection seat, along with the resin seat rails to go behind the ejection seat. The photo etch sheet contains seat belts and ejection seat handles plus a few other very tiny parts.  

With the new F-22 Raptor kit hitting the market, there is definitely a need for a more detailed ejection seat to dress up the cockpit in your F-22 and this seat has plenty of detail to do the job. 

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.
