Review by Steve Bamford on Apr 3 2003

The is a recent release from Cutting Edge Modelworks.  These ejection seats are designed for the U-2R/U-2S/TR-1.  These seats do not come with seatbelts.  This will permit the modeler to create their own seatbelts using lead foil, masking tape or other materials.  The detail is beautiful and very crisp on all areas of these resin ejection seats.  Once installed the most obvious detail will be the upper seat area as well as the seat cushion areas.  The seat cushions on this seat are beautifully detailed and when painted will look very realistic.  I am very pleased with the level of detail on these seats as compared to the seats that come with the kit.  Using these resin ejection seats will greatly enhance the appearance of your finished cockpit and for that reason I highly recommend this product.
