The Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C/D was a multirole strike aircraft in service with the British Navy and Air Force during the Cold War. The aircraft was fitted with advanced Martin-Baker Mk.6 ejection seats, which provided crucial pilot safety, especially during missions over the Atlantic and North Sea. These seats saw intensive use, especially during operations in Europe and during NATO exercises from 1965 to 1993.

The Eduard 648823 set is a unique offering for modellers seeking a masterful reproduction of the cockpit interior’s detail. The seats have been recreated with extraordinary attention to detail, including characteristic harnesses, technical features, and intricate components—all attainable with modern 3D printing technology.

It is an excellent choice if you want your model to stand out with an exceptional interior and professional finishing.
