Gloster Meteor Mk.8/9 Martin Baker Ejection Seat Mk.II (Q48388)

1:48 CMK Quick & Easy Line by Special Hobby for Airfix kit

 

 

Quite often if there is one thing modellers who dont even normally use aftermarket use on a kit its a new ejection seat. Injection moulding does not offer the same level of detail and many modellers dont want the trouble of multiple PE seat belts. A resin seat with moulded in detail is the best choice. 

 

 

This set from CMK gives us the MB Mark II Seat used on the Gloster Meteor Marks 8 & 9. The set arrives in the usual green-themed Quick & Easy blister pack, with the instructions sandwiched between the resin parts and the header card.  Inside is a single seat.. The casting is up to the usual high standards from CMK/Special Hobby with minimal clean up being needed. The only thing the modeller will need to add is the seat firing handle from wire

 

 

Conclusion

Detail is excellent, and will add a great touch to any model. Highly Recommended for your Airfix Kit.
