Scratchbuilt Lightning seat 1/144th


Recommended Posts

Started work on a Revell 1/144th Lightning F6, cockpit built, vents/scoops added, and ejector seat built.

Plasticard, stretched sprue, fine wire, Tamiya masking tape, eye strain( despite Optivisor ) and 3 headaches later here it is.

Sods Law says you'll hardly see it when in cockpit....but at least I did it!!

Overall height is about 7.5mm

Fantastic work there McYellowbelly, it looks brilliant. I have one of these to make and would like to see more of the other details you have added too.

Maybe you won't see it when it is in the tub but at least you know that it is there.

Much of the joy in this hobby is in the journey. It matters not a bit that it might not be visible once the cockpit is closed off. It's in there. Andrew
