Scale, but Its not an aeroplane.

[Upkeep]

Hi all

 

Ive been unable to fly my little carbon cub in the field over the way over summer. Hopefully they will turn it over soon and leave a flattish bit for me to operate from 🙂

 

Ive been busy since early this year scratch building this model ejection seat. I know its not an aircraft, but it could fit in one !!😜

So, who of you have a scale F-35 Lightning almost ready to go but needs an ejection seat 🤣

 

I dont know the scale, I just started making it and it came out at around 19 inches tall, its HUGE ! I made it with the help of Martin Baker who provided some images and other details. I built 2 and they have the other one, though its not as detailed as my one as I wanted to go to town on mine. Seat is completely scratch built from aluminium, brass and SS fittings, webbings and other materials.

 

Hope you like it ( even if it isn't an RC aircraft ) 

 

Thanks for looking in.

A spectacular and arguably priceless piece of model engineering.

It is obviously at "exhibition" standard. Just make sure it eventually ends up somewhere permanent.
