Packed in a resealble bag, the one resin part is well cast and has a large pour plug at the bottom of the seat.
The detail for the seat is exceptional considering the small size of the bang seat. Harness detail is moulded onto the seat cushion and with careful painting should really pop the detail out.
The seat has the ejection pull rings cast onto the seat and they do look quite delicate. The exterior of the seat has raised and recessed detail moulded on, and a quick look at photos of the real seat shows that it is a pretty good match profile wise, but the head rest is different to the picture of the real seat I have seen.
The Pavla replacement seat is not destined for any particular manufacturers kit, so it should fit any 1/72nd MiG-17/MiG-19/J-6 model.
No instructions or paint guide are supplied.
