NavyPhantoms Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Eduard makes seats for the B. What scale are building? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Larson Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 By 1972 it's a safe bet they were fitted with Martin Baker Mk 7 seats. Regardless of scale, there are plenty of aftermarket Mk 7s available (Aires, True Deatils, etc.) Cheers, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I am building an Academy 1/48, thanks for the hints...how do I tell the difference between the seats? it usually just say "...for F-4b" FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomdriver Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hypersonic models in UK do nice seats for the Acad F-4B plus a few other things http://www.hypersonicmodels.co.uk/products/1-48-resin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabat Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Plus 1 for the Hypersonic seats - they're literally made for the Academy F-4B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As discussed earlier in this thread, the OP needs Mk7 seats for the tine frame he is doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randypandy831 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 early B's use the Mk.5 he should be good with the Mk.7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
