Hello all !

 

Back at the bench to do some reworking .... :waiting:

 

I was not totally satisfied with my ejection seat and decided to improve it .

 

Remember :

The real one , precisely known as Martin Baker Mk4 CM4 has a little busier aspect , especially in terms of harness and oxygen equipment

Some other examples :

That's the goal to reach .

The remove before flight stuff is moved to the right and the old harness is covered with a mixture of CA glue and talc .

 

Then , the harness is built by cutting strips of metal that you find on wine bottles .:winkgrin:

 

Buckles are made of styren strips cut with my chopper II .

Wax pencil is very useful !!!!

Final assembly step and black primer :

Then : 00 brush , wet palette and Prince August acryl to reach this point :

Now it's time to work on the oxygen system : lead wire

Then , business as usual   ^_^ : styren sheet , CA glue , chopper II , tamiya tape and streched Q-tips :

Then , painting again , with brighter and darker colors ( the figurine way , more or less ) , then gloss coat , oil paint wash ( dark ) , and flat coat  !!!!

 

Remember : this bang seat is the Heller one :

To which I finally added 42 extra scratch built parts , to get this final product :

 

TADAAAA !

 Hello fellow follower from down under !

 

Watch out : the SEM was equipped with a Martin Baker Mk6 , it's rather different from the Mk4 !!!!
