CAM's excellent ACES II ejection seat, and separate castings for the pitot sensors and ejection pull ring.

 

 

First up in the line of CAM products to be reviewed is the 1/32 ACES II ejection seat.  This is a nice one-piece offering, and the detail is very crisp.  In the photo above, the smaller included parts are the pitot sensors (which are mounted on the sides of the headrest), and the ejection pull handle.  My review sample was very well cast, and the belt detail in particular is very nicely done.  Unfortunately, mine also came with a broken seat rail on the right side, but remember, this is only a review sample, and I'm sure that the actual seat available for purchase won't have this problem.  Even if it does, it's easily corrected with a small piece of styrene strip.  

All in all, this is a very nice seat, and I highly recommend it.  In fact, I think that this particular one is going to find itself a home in either my Revell F-15C or my Trumpeter A-10!  See below for additional views of the seat.  My sincere thanks to Armagan Kayra of Custom Aeronautical Miniatures for the review sample!
