The 1/48 Metallic Details B-1B Lancer Ejection Seats #MDR48189 is a highly detailed aftermarket upgrade set designed to replace the kit seats in 1/48 scale B-1B Lancer models. The set includes four finely detailed 3D-printed ACES II ejection seats, accurately representing the seats used in the B-1B’s four-person cockpit. Featuring crisp molded details such as seat cushions, harnesses, survival equipment, and structural components, these replacement seats provide a significant improvement over most kit-supplied parts. Designed for use with Monogram and compatible B-1B kits, the set is supplied unpainted and requires assembly and finishing by the modeler. The MDR48189 set is an excellent upgrade for builders seeking a more realistic cockpit and greater overall accuracy in their B-1B Lancer project.
The Rockwell B-1B Lancer is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy bomber developed for the United States Air Force. Designed by Rockwell International, the aircraft entered service in the 1980s as part of the U.S. strategic bomber fleet. The B-1B features swing wings that allow efficient flight at both high subsonic and supersonic speeds, and it has played a major role in long-range strike missions since its introduction.
The B-1B was produced between 1983 and 1988, with 100 aircraft built for the United States Air Force, which remains the sole operator of the type.

Metallic Details specializes in finely engineered aftermarket components designed to enhance realism across a wide range of subjects. Their catalog includes photo-etched and metal parts, along with select resin components, covering aircraft, armored vehicles, and ships in popular scales such as 1/35, 1/48, 1/72, 1/144, and beyond. These are the kinds of upgrades that make a noticeable difference: sharper details, scale-accurate thickness, and parts that elevate a build without overcomplicating it.
What stands out to me about Metallic Details is their focus on practical detailing. Their sets are thoughtfully designed to replace or enhance areas where plastic parts can fall short, such as grilles, vents, interior fittings, and fine exterior details. Whether you're looking to add subtle realism to a favorite kit or push a showcase build further, these products offer a lot of value at the workbench.
