Aires 4577 M.B. Mk-10Q ejection seat (Mirage 2000B/N/D) 1/48 – resin ejection seat for French aircraft

The specialist upgrade set Aires 4577 M.B. Mk-10Q ejection seat (Mirage 2000B/N/D) 1/48 is a high-quality ejection seat designed for Mirage 2000B, 2000N, and 2000D aircraft models in the popular 1/48 scale. Precisely cast in resin, it offers excellent replication of details characteristic of the authentic Martin-Baker Mk-10Q seat used in French multirole aircraft.

Historical Overview and Application

The Martin-Baker Mk-10Q seat was a key safety component for crews of the Dassault Mirage 2000 fighters—one of the most important French combat aircraft of the Cold War and modern era. These aircraft were (and are) used in France as well as other countries such as India, Greece, and the United Arab Emirates. The Mirage 2000N and 2000D participated in operations over Afghanistan and NATO missions, where the modern Mk-10Q ejection seat provided pilots with effective protection during emergency ejections.
