Historical Description and Application

The KS-4 seat is one of the typical ejection seats used in many Soviet combat aircraft such as the Su-7, Su-9, Su-11, Su-15, and Su-17. These machines were widely used by the USSR air force and Warsaw Pact countries, primarily during the Cold War, from the 1960s up to the 1980s. They took part in numerous patrol, interception, and combat operations on various fronts, including local conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan. The detailed pilot figure paired with the ejection seat perfectly captures the atmosphere and specifics of that era, enhancing the realism of dioramas and model presentations.

• An ideal addition to high-precision Su-7, Su-9, Su-11, Su-15, and Su-17 models in 1/48 scale from renowned brands (e.g., Trumpeter, Eduard, KittyHawk)
• Build difficulty level: 3/5 – requires accuracy and experience when working with resin and painting precise details of the uniform and seat
