Airfix's 1/48th Sea Vixen kit is a beauty all by itself. The one thing it does need is some ejection seats, as these are pretty visible when the build is done. The kit seats are OK but do not include any belts and, with the limitations of injection molding versus the great detail of resin, someone needed to make a nice set of seats. Squadron products to the rescue!

Squadron's True Details USA line offers excellent value and detail and these seats are no exception. The set comes with two seats and a small sprue of ejection handles to add. The first thing you notice is that the seats are not carbon copies of one another – they are different. This is a great idea as many aftermarket sets that have seats with belts just mold the seat twice and while you get a nice seat, they look identical, which isn't the real world.

Construction is easy – cut off the block on the bottom of the seats, add one ejection handle to the top and one between the legs, and prime. I went online to find pictures of the seat and Squadron has molded them perfectly. I painted, washed and dry brushed, and finally flat coated them. I added them to my Sea Vixen and they slid into place perfectly with no problems.

These are highly recommended – easy, great price and value, and they fit well. If you build a Sea Vixen, you should get these. My thanks to Gary Newman and Squadron Products for this excellent review item.
