Mk14 Ejection Seat for F/A-18, T-45 Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR72116

Metallic Details MDR72116 is a 3D Printed Set of Martin-Baker Mk.14 ejection seats for 1/72 modern jet cockpits, referenced for F/A-18 and T-45 builds. The set includes parts to build two seats, which suits twin-seat variants or multiple projects that use the same seat type.

In 1/72, the ejection seat is often the most visible cockpit element through the canopy. This set focuses on seat shape and cushion detail for cockpit presentation where instrument detail may be limited.

The Mk.14 seat is associated with aircraft such as the F/A-18 Hornet and T-45 Goshawk. Exact fit and seat rail geometry can vary by kit, so installation is best treated as kit-dependent.

For modelers: test-fit each seat in the cockpit tub before painting to confirm height, rake angle, and canopy clearance. Prime lightly to preserve printed texture, paint and finish the seat first, then add any small details late. If your kit uses shallow locating tabs, a small drilled pin can improve alignment.

FAQ

How many seats are included?

Each set includes parts to build two Mk.14 ejection seats.

Will these seats fit any 1/72 F/A-18 or T-45 kit?

The set is listed as universal, but cockpit tubs and seat rails vary by manufacturer. Dry-fit and adjust only the seat base contact points until canopy clearance and height look correct.

What is the safest time to install the seats?

Install after painting the cockpit tub but before closing the fuselage halves, so you can fine-tune alignment and reduce visible glue marks on cockpit sidewalls.
