This particular seat is the Aces II A type ejection seat. Well, that means squat to me as I'm not conversant on modern bang seats. However, the instructions do offer that it will fit an F-16 as there are separate buckles for four different variants depending on which block of F-16 you are going to fit this into. As you can see, you thread the belts through the appropriate buckles; not a difficult job in 1/32, but not one I'd be looking forward to in 1/72! The seat itself is well molded as you'd expect from Aires. It also had a section broken from it during shipment, a situation that is not uncommon with resin sets. Nevertheless, it should be easy to repair. There is no color information given on the seat and you'll have to make a few small bits out of plastic rod or stretched sprue. However, I can guarantee that it is a much better seat than what comes with the kit and will really add to it.
