FirstLook

 

Mini Craft Collection from China has been busy lately with new releases in their range of 3d printed seats and accessories for US military jet aircraft.

 

 

Tonight I will be reviewing a selection of 1/72 scale ejection seats in Mini Craft Collections' growing range.

 

 

The sets arrive in small stout silver tins.

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

 

 

For all the sets I spent a few minutes partially freeing major parts from their resin cage using a good quality pair of sprue cutters, then carefully removed smaller fittings with a new hobby blade.

 

 

Some of the small parts are genuinely tiny and may fly off into the jaws of the dreaded carpet monster if you don't take care.

All the seats are crisply and incredibly detailed. In the case of the two-seat sets, the cushions and the harness arrangements are unique - very noticeable in this scale and a pleasure to see.

 

 

Anyway, rather than simply repeat how exquisite each of these seats are, I will let the pictures tell the story!

These are all gorgeously detailed replacement seast for any of the subject aircraft.

Thanks to Mini Craft Collection for the sample.
