Aerobonus continues the line of 1:48 scale pilot figures from jet fighters. This time we get two interesting sets of pilots seated on the ejection seat, perfect for any taxing plane or in-flight configuration.

That's a cool idea combining pilots & seats in one piece! Chapeau!

They look superb, makes me want to go out and by an F-4 just to put them in it.
One thing that makes me wonder though, how hard is it going to be to get them into the cockpit and fit?

That's what I'm curious too. I think that as long as the seat will fit the cockpit the pilot will fit too. As you see the hands are separated so you can always to some surgery to the shoulder joints or elbows.

I presume that these are made for a recommended kit, and that the figure has been sized to fit. Of course that means that if you try to fit him into another kit you may encounter difficulty.

Hi Jessie,
I'm affraid not this time. The information which I got indicated only particular type of plane but not specified any particular model kit. It's similar to some Quickboost sets like wheels or, nomen omen, pilots seats.

Oh dear. I guess they expect us to give the Douglas Bader treatment to their hard work then.
