82Whitey51 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Anyone know what type of seat they currently use in the Alpha Jets used by the Patrouille de France demo team? Photos appear to look similar to a F/A-18 SJU...but I'm guessing it is a Martin Baker type?? Same as in a Mirage 2000C?? Edited February 8, 2016 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) The seat that is currently used is the Martin Baker Mk B-10N. The change from the earlier MK.4 seat happened sometime around 2010, if I recall correctly. It should all be mentioned in the instructions if you are using Caracal Models' decal sheet.

Yes, definitely using the Caracal sheet (I'm at work and don't have the instructions in front of me). Do you know of a set in 1/48 scale? The Aires Martin Baker Mk-10Q (Mirage 2000C) seats look pretty close. Edited February 8, 2016 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martinBK Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Actually, the seat is a MK10 L and is slightly different than the F-10Q (Mirage 2000). Afaik, there's no aftermarket seat yet. A black painted MK F-10Q could be enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Alright, thanks for the info and great reference photo. I understand the rear seat has smaller "horns" also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
