282 parts

Here is some pics of a K-36DM ejection seat. It has 282 parts!!!  The seat, as you see, is really small. It has been made while working on a never finished MIG-29 model. The model has never been finished because of the lack of appropriate documentation. But to make the seat it was enough. It can always be used in another model but whether it's worth it is another question.

As modellers we aspire to make everything that is visible in the documentation. It was also the case with the seat. We ask everyone who sees the seat to estimate the number of its parts. You can also try to do it. So far no one managed to guess it. The K-36DM seat has been build of 282 parts. 

Any questions?
