US16E Ejection Seat Model

Something you may not see every day

I recently finished this scratch built model of the F35 Lightning Ejection Seat.

Helped by the Martin Baker Ejection seat company who provided some images for me to work with. I have made two of these, one for MB which is not as detailed as this. And this which I have added as much detail as poss for my own satisfaction. 

But how far do you go !!

Thank you for looking in.

Fantastic! I can't even imagine how to start such a project.

Wow, I am amazed. Dave W

Looking forward to seeing it in a model and ejecting the pilot (and the aeroplane landing safely).

Fantastic work.

Bob

Lovely work!

Good to see such an unusual and complicated subject, too.

Amazing. What is the scale?

Steve

Absolutely brilliant, very unique project, did you document the build process? I'd love to see how it came together.

Model engineering! This warms the soul.

beautifully different piece of work, congratulations.

Wow, very impressive!

What sort of size is it? I take it that you didn't cut that lot out with a jeweller's saw!

Its 19 inches tall

Dunno

I started building and it came out at around 19 Inches tall. Whatever scale that is

Wonderful!

Scaling from the bricks in one photo, it's about a foot high* and appears to be meticulously perfect. Very different from the stuff I knock together!

Dave

Wrong again!  DieHard posted the correct answer while I was typing - 19"

Stunning work Carl and a superb model to be exceptionally proud of. Fantastic result

Puts the much smaller 1/32 'highly detailed' resin model seats well into perspective for sure

Overall height of 19" would appear to be a little under half full size, Wow!!!

Cheers folks

With a 20P piece for some scale referance

I did some work for Martin-Baker at Denham a few years ago. Lovely to see their work, impressive factory.

Beautiful model, Carl, very well done.

Bill

Awesome!

Would it work if you put some juice in there? And if so will you dare try?!
