hi guys,

I am building a 1:32 F-4D in Vietnam (from Tamiya) and want to add replacement Ejection Seats. Could you tell me which ones to use since there seem to bee two different types; mk5 and mk7 ??

TIA,
Marc

Hi Mark

When I was researching for the True Details Martin Baker Mk. 7 review, I found a great reference for ejection seats - ejectionsite.com. Just select the seat gallery at the left of screen and choose from the list.

Hope this helps

Having worked on F-4Cs & Ds in my youth the old D model carried the mark 5 seat. Don't be afraid to dirty up the cockpit a bit and if you want it to look realistic, add a few patches to the fusalage and the top of the wings. Some primered and some bare metal. They took a beating in combat.
Hope this helps
