MSRP: 2.60 Euros, approx. $3.00 Available from PJ Production, Belgium (www.pjproduction.net) PJ Production from Belgium produces a nice series of aircraft accessories, including vehicles, pilots and conversion sets, as well as some nice resin full kits. Their latest releases include this fine pair of early Martin Baker ejection seats, specifically the Mk.2H and Mk.3H. Both seats are intended for the Hawker Hunter, as indicated by the "H" suffix, but in reality, they are suitable for a wide range of early jet aircraft - I will use mine on Canberras. Both are finely molded in cream colored resin, with complete belt sets and separate overhead ring pulls. Separation from the casting blocks is simple and there is little clean-up to do. The seats are differentiated by their seat pans and the overhead pull handles, as well as by their colors. A gentle wash in soapy water and these little seats are ready for some paint. Painting is an exercise in patience in this scale, but I think the results look good and I will be happy to include them in my latest Canberra projects. For color information, I used the information at Martin-Baker's website, as well as a very useful Italian site devoted to ejection seats - www.seatejectcolor.com/seat. In summary, these little accessories are very useful additions to PJ's range of products. I highly recommend them. Please visit the PJ Production website for ordering details.
