The Martin-Baker Type 7A Mk. 1 seat was used in the British variants of the Phantom F-4 fighters (FG.1 and FGR.2 versions), which formed the backbone of air defense for both the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy during the Cold War. Thanks to its innovative ejection system and high level of safety, it was a reliable component of these legendary machines. Phantoms equipped with British Martin-Baker seats participated in numerous training missions and patrol operations across Europe, supporting NATO up to the end of their service in the 1990s.

The Aires set offers a seat with precisely rendered details—from the headrest profile, through delicately cast seat belts, to the wiring of the ejection system, making the finished model extremely realistic. The use of resin casting technology achieves effects impossible to replicate in mass-produced plastic kits. This product is recommended especially for advanced modelers and aviation enthusiasts who care about replicating every cockpit detail. Assembly difficulty is rated at 3/5—for those experienced in working with resin accessories. This part will significantly raise the quality of any 1:48 scale Phantom model.
