Martin-Baker Mk.5 Ejection seat Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR72120

Metallic Details MDR72120 is a 3D-printed ejection seat set for the Martin-Baker Mk.5 in 1/72. The box includes two seats, which helps keep cockpit seating consistent on both single-seat builds (spare for test-fitting) and twin-seat layouts.

In 1/72 cockpits, the seat silhouette is one of the first things visible through the canopy. This set focuses on the Mk.5 seat shape and surface definition around the headbox and seat pan, where kit parts are often simplified.

The Mk.5 seat was fitted to several aircraft types; the manufacturer mentions applications such as English Electric Lightning, Canberra, and Sea Vixen (project and kit version dependent).

For modelers: before painting, dry-fit the seat with the cockpit tub and the canopy (or windscreen) in place to confirm height and rake angle. If your kit has molded seat rails or locating tabs, check clearance and trim only what is needed to keep the seat centered. Prime the 3D-printed parts first, then paint and add light washes to keep small edges readable at this scale.
