Martin-Baker Mk.9 Ejection seat Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR72121

Metallic Details MDR72121 is a 3D-printed resin set of two Martin-Baker Mk.9 ejection seats for 1/72 aircraft cockpits. It is designed to replace kit seats and provide an alternative seat shape and surface detail that may remain visible under an open canopy.

The Mk.9 seat appears across multiple aircraft types, and cockpit tubs can differ between kits. This set is listed as Any/Universal, so it can be used on projects where the kit seat size and mounting points match your build plan.

For modelers: dry-fit each seat with the cockpit tub and the canopy (or windscreen) in place to confirm height and clearance before glue. If the seat sits too tall, adjust the mounting surface gradually rather than trimming visible edges. Prime first, paint the seat separately, then install late to reduce handling damage.

FAQ

How many seats are included?

The set includes parts for two ejection seats, which can be used for single-seat builds (spares) and twin-seat cockpit projects.

Will it fit any 1/72 kit that uses a Mk.9 seat?

It is listed as Any/Universal, but cockpit widths and seat mounting styles vary by kit. Test-fit with the tub and canopy to confirm clearance and seating height.

Is it better to install the seats before or after painting?

Painting the seats separately can be simpler. Prime and paint the seats first, then install them after the main cockpit work to keep edges clean.
