Pavla 1/48 British Aircraft Ejection Seats
|
 |
One of the best places for resin replacement sets is the cockpit, and
more specifically the seats. While model manufacturers have, in the past,
come out with some nice looking seats, they cannot come close to an accurate
resin seat. Just replacing the seat with a resin one can greatly improve
the look of a cockpit, and these latest releases from Pavla do just that.
The first set, S48021, contains two seats for the Airfix Buccaneer kit.
These Martin Baker Mk.6 seats have just about everything you would expect
to see, making them a huge improvement over the kit seats.
The second set, S48022, contains just one seat, a Martin Baker Mk.2F,
that can be used in either a Gloster Meteor or a Hawker Sea Hawk. Like
the Buccaneer seats, this one is nicely cast with exquisite detailing
and should be an improvement over the kit options. Even if you don’t
have these kits, it might be worthwhile picking these up, just for painting
experience. A collection of ejection seats could make for an impressive
display all on their own.
My thanks to Pavla for the review samples.
