1:32 ACES II ejection seats - (late version)

ACES II ejection seats, late version 1:32 (Aires)

This resin set brings faithfully rendered ACES II ejection seats in the late form, in 1:32 scale. It holds fine relief of the seat shell, the harness and the controls, which the plastic part from the kit usually simplifies. This is not an airplane model but a detail accessory.

The real subject

The ACES II is an American ejection seat used in a number of combat aircraft. It appeared in several forms, and the late version differs from the earlier ones in the details of its equipment. The seat provides for the pilot's escape by leaving the aircraft in an emergency.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the resin parts, cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces. Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate) and protect your airways when sanding. Paint in the harness and the details with a brush and pick out the recesses with a wash for a three-dimensional look.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of American combat aircraft in 1:32 scale
• Those who want faithful seats instead of the plastic from the kit
• More advanced builders used to working with resin

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a resin accessory. Glue, paints and the airplane model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
