I have just returned from Reno and thought the forum may interested to see the progress that has been made on the ‘Marlin’
MB5 replica. Although more or less complete there is a lot of detail work to be done. Many of the panels need further work as the the fit looks very temporary.

Martin-Baker do have a link to the replica.

Their site’s worth a look anyway.
I suppose if M-B refer to it as a replica we’ve no room to argue.

I was under the impression that Martin Baker still had the drawings, and are quite approachable. I think that their website has or had a link to that project on it.

didnt think you could even get drawings for the mb5 anymore i thought they were shredded out of existence…please prove me wrong!

Glad I’m not the only one to think that there is something deeply odd about that machine, full credit for what he’s done though, could you imagine the CAA’s reaction to it if it were over here :rolleyes:

Very nice indeed and well done to him. Just one thing – shame about the shade of green he’s used.
