Hasegawa’s 1/48th scale J-35 Draken kit is an excellent representation of the plane. Like most injected kits, the ejection seat is not as good as the rest of the kit due to molding limitations. Now Quickboost comes to the rescue with a highly detailed resin Saab ejection seat with molded belts.

I have enclosed pictures of the Quickboost seat as well as Aires seat and the kit seat. Aires has a set of PE seat belts that need to be built prior to installing the seat, Quickboost's belts are molded onto the seat and the kit seat has no belts at all. The Aires and Quickboost seat are similar with excellent detail on the fabric and seat. The Aires seat comes with an entire replacement cockpit.

Modelers now have three choices- the kit seat; the Aires seat with the PE buckles/straps or, my favorite, the Quickboost seat with molded buckles. I like the way the sculpted Quickboost belts look compared to the photo-etch set of belts. My recommendation goes to the Quickboost set for its great price and ease of addition to the kit.

Thanks to Quickboost for the review sample and to IPMS/USA for a chance to review it. The Quickboost product is recommended to all fans of the Swedish Dragon!
