Ejection Seat KM-1M 2 pcs, Seats + 3D Decals (3D-Printed) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR48259 - For Models Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDR48259 is a 3D-printed resin set to build two KM-1M ejection seats in 1/48, supplied with colored seat belts and 3D decal-style details as specified by the manufacturer. It is intended as a universal cockpit upgrade where seat structure and harness detail are a focal point.

Even in closed-cockpit builds, ejection seats remain highly visible through the canopy. This set helps you add sharper seat geometry and ready-colored belt detail, reducing the amount of fine brushwork needed in tight cockpit spaces (aircraft compatibility is kit-dependent).

For modelers: test-fit the seats against the kit cockpit tub and canopy clearance before painting. Paint the main seat first, then add the colored belt elements and remaining small details near the end to avoid scuffing. A light matte coat can help blend finishes between painted resin and pre-colored parts.

FAQ

Will these seats fit any 1/48 cockpit?

They are listed as universal, but cockpit tubs vary by kit. Test-fit for width and height, and check canopy clearance before final installation.

How should I handle the colored belt parts?

Keep them until late in the build to avoid paint overspray and handling damage. Use small amounts of adhesive and align belts while the seat is fixed in a stable holder.

Do I need to paint everything if belts are colored?

The main seat parts are supplied unpainted. The colored elements reduce detail painting for harnesses, but you’ll still paint the seat structure to match your cockpit finish.
