Doing a SR-71A Blackbird kit.

True Details used to make an entire cockpit detail set for it some years ago if I remember correctly. I don't know if it's still available, though.

True Details is making a set.

How exacly does anyone eject from a plane travelling at 2000mph on the fringes of outer space? Just curious.

One doesn't.
Ejection seats have operational/successful employment envelopes just like an aircraft does. Ya gotta slow down, be in a reasonable attiude, at a reasonable altitiude, at a resonable airspeed, and more likely a combination of all of the above. And they vary with the seat type and aircraft combination.
The one that always got me was when I asked a Marine Harrier pilot what he would do if he were trapped in the cockpit after ditching with the jet sinking...said he'd still eject below the surface, that being the fastest way out. That'd HAFTA hurt...
He's a Marine, he can take it.
True but when it comes down to that, "may be fatal" is better odds than "definitely fatal" ;~p
Yeah, but I'd think ejecting into water would be like doing a belly-flop off the high dive...mostly if not definately fatal. Would think you'd break your neck if you're even slightly out of position.
Here's an account from one guy that did it...and survived:
Well, you're wearing a pressure suit for the long fall and at that altitude there's a LOT less air molecules to beat you to pulp. Wouldn't say it would be pretty. As an example look at some of the insane speeds folks who have done free falls out of balloons at altitude have achieved.
Pugs (2400 hours, zero ejections)
