Sounding like a broken record, I'll repeat that the best upgrade you can do to a modern jet kit is put in a quality seat. This one from Pavla is designed for the Italeri/ESCI Mirage F.1C kit. It is a direct replacement for the kit seat and just needs painting to be ready. This one also needs new pull handles on the top of the seat as the resin ones broke off in shipment. This can easily be replaced by wire.

Like all Pavla seats, the molding is very good and it includes the harness molded into the seat. A fine addition if you are thinking of building the old Italeri/ESCI kit.
