Martin-Baker Mk.14 Ejection Seat for F/A-18, T-45 Scale 1:32 Metallic Details MDR3258

Metallic Details MDR3258 is a 3D-printed ejection seat upgrade set for cockpit builds of the F/A-18 Hornet and T-45 Goshawk in 1/32. In this scale, the seat is a visible cockpit element, so the seat frame detail and overall shape are intended for open-canopy displays and cockpit-focused builds.

Each set includes parts for two seats. This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). Fit can be kit-dependent, so an early dry-fit check is recommended.

The Martin-Baker Mk.14 is used across modern jet applications. For modeling, seat height and angle relative to the cockpit rails can affect how the cockpit and canopy line appear in side view.

For modelers: dry-fit the seat(s) with the cockpit tub and canopy parts before paint to confirm clearance. If you plan to display the canopy closed, check top clearance first; if open, focus on seat alignment and the mounting interface. Prime the resin to unify the surface, then paint and install the seats late to reduce handling during cockpit and fuselage work.

FAQ

How many seats are included?

The set includes parts for two Martin-Baker Mk.14 seats.

Will these seats fit any 1/32 F/A-18 or T-45 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but cockpit tubs vary by manufacturer. Dry-fit with the cockpit tub and canopy to confirm clearance and mounting points.

When should I install the seats during the build?

Seats are often installed late, after cockpit painting and most fuselage handling is finished. This can help reduce scuffs while working on seams and canopy fit.
