Aires 2173 SJU-17 Ejection Seat for F-18E 1/32

Aires 2173 SJU-17 is an extremely detailed model of an ejection seat, designed to provide an accurate replica of the F/A-18E Super Hornet’s cockpit in 1:32 scale. This product is made from high-quality resin and features excellent detail reproduction, which even the most demanding modelers will appreciate when building replicas of modern American military aviation.

The SJU-17 seat (designated NACES – Navy Aircrew Common Ejection Seat) is the standard equipment for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Growler fighter jets used by the United States Navy (USA) from the late 1990s to present day. NACES seats are an advancement of the older Martin-Baker Mk.10 designs, offering improved safety for pilots and weapons system operators.
