Wanted 1/72 German WWII Ejector seat

[Gondor]

The title basically says it all. Information about an aftermarket set that includes an ejector seat would do too. Willing to swap a seat for a Revell Do 335 for such a seat, obviously there will not be a seat in with the kit as its for another project that requires 2 seats.

I will be at the Scottish Nationals if that will help with the swapping of parts for the seat if that helps make things easier for whoever may be my benefactor.

AFAIK, no one does an aftermarket set of WWII Luftwaffe bang seats.  Not that may types had them fitted - He 280, He 219 and He 162 all had simple Heinkel designed seats and the Do 335 also had a bang seat due to the pusher prop.  Test firings had the nasty side effect of tearing the pilot's arms off.

Edit:  Cooper Details did a detail set for the He 219.  You may be able to alter that.

Thanks for the info, I may just decide to add Do335 as a search on e-bay though and try to pick up a cheap Revell version. The seat was for my entry for the Luftwaffe 46 GB but there is no way I am going to finish in time, doesn't help when you cut a hole for a canopy on the big side so the canopy falls through the hole !

The seat in the Revell Ho 229 looks somewhat like the bang seat from the Do 335.  They may be easier to find.  I used one in a 262 many years ago.
