FirstLook

 

Mini Craft Collection is a relatively new company from China that focuses on 3d printed seats and accessories for US military jet aircraft.

 

 

Tonight I will be reviewing a recent release in Mini Craft Collections' growing range - a pair of 1/48 scale M.B. Mk. H7 Ejection Seats for for USAF F-4C, D, E, G.

 

 

Mini Craft Collection Item No. MCC4807 is designed for any available 1/48 scale for USAF F-4C, D, E, G Phantom II kit.

The set arrives in a small stout silver tin. My tin was mislabelled as an early/mid US Navy Phantom II but the contents are two USAF seats.

The resin parts are enclosed in individual resin enclosures and cushioned securely in foam.

My view of the seat was limited due to its position inside the resin encosure so I spent a few minutes partially freeing one of the seats and its small fittings with a new hobby blade .

The seat is crisply and impressively detailed.

 

 

Surface textures are beautifully done. The harness straps with buckles and other hardware are printed in place.

I particularly like the intricate folded and resting harness straps and the delicate checkerboard pattern on the cushions. These will love dry-brushing and washes. Careful painting and weathering will reward your efforts.

It appears that the drape of the straps is identical on both seats.

In addition to the main seat part, MCC supplies a futher four parts including pull handles and small fittings.

These small parts are printed onto the base, so take care not to damage or lose them when you are freeing the main seat parts.

 

 

There are no striations or any other printing imperfections whatsoever.

A small but clearly printed instruction leaflet is also inside the can. There is no painting guide included.

 

 

This is a gorgeously detailed replacement seat for any 1/48 scale USAF F-4C, D, E, G Phantom II..

Thanks to Mini Craft Collection for the sample.
