1/48 Meteor F.8 bangseat?

[Bozothenutter]

Is CMK the only game in town?

Not impressed with the Aeroclub stuff and Neomega stuff seems to have vanished.

Found two other options which are still available:

 

PJ Productions: https://www.pj-production.be/en/conversions-accessories-1-48/84-481202-martin-baker-mk-2-ejection-seat.html

High Planes Models: https://www.hpmhobbies.com/high-planes-martin-baker-mk-2e-ejector-seat-suitable-for-meteor-f-8-fr-9-accessories-1-48/

 

Cheers

That PJ seat is not right for a Meteor.  The High planes one does not look right either. We have the seat for our meteor at the museum and its not like either.

 

Go with the kit seat and set of eduard belts, looks way better than any aftermarket seat ive seen IMHO; its what I did on my build

   This is MB. Mk-2, from Mastercasters, reproduced here for illustration purposes only,  I don't know if it should be used on Gloster Meteor F-8, but is recommended for Hawker Hunter, Sea Hawk  etc...

Compared to the actual seat, the CMK seems to need only a horizontal scallop on the headrest.

And the addition of the leg braces.

in fact,  I bought it to use in the 1/48 Hunter from Academy, since its cockpit is under dimensioned.

Unless you have a Mastercaster's seat in your possession, don't plan on locating one for some time.
