Lockheed-Martin F-35 A Lightning II, Ejection Seat + 3D Decal Scale 1:32 Metallic Details MDR3231 - For Aircraft Model Kits

Metallic Details MDR3231 is a cockpit seat upgrade for the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II in 1/32. The set combines 3D-printed seat parts with colored seat belts supplied as 3D decals, intended to make the harness area read clearly through an open canopy.

On a modern single-seat cockpit, the seat is the visual anchor. This set helps bring out layered straps and sharper seat geometry so the cockpit looks complete even with minimal additional detailing around it (kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit the seat early with the kit tub and canopy to confirm height and clearance. Paint and seal the seat first, then add the colored belts as the final step so you can position them cleanly around buckles and edges. Keep the contact faces free of heavy paint so the seat still seats squarely in the cockpit.

FAQ

Is this set intended for a specific kit brand?

No. It is listed as universal for compatible 1/32 F-35A kits. Test-fit the seat in your cockpit tub to confirm mounting points and height.

When should I apply the colored seat belts?

Apply them after the seat is painted and sealed. This makes it easier to position the belts cleanly and avoid repainting around the harness.

Do I need to modify the cockpit to fit the seat?

It depends on the kit. Check seat width, back angle, and canopy clearance during dry-fit, and adjust the mounting area only if needed.
