madcow Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Kinetic says I should paint the Frs.1 panel in black, but I thought I should paint it using the same colour as the rest of the cockpit. What is the correct colour for a late 80s jet? Also, what's the best aftermarket seat in 1/48th scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Every SHAR cockpit I've seen a photo of has a grey panel. I'd believe photos before I'd believe Kinetic's instruction sheet. Both Pavla and NeOmega make very nice Mk.10s for the SHAR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks Jennings. What about side consoles? Gray too, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 So it would appear... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks. Seeing this photo makes me realise how naked the sidewalls on the kinetic kit are... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy121 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Kinetic says I should paint the Frs.1 panel in black, but I thought I should paint it using the same colour as the rest of the cockpit. What is the correct colour for a late 80s jet? Also, what's the best aftermarket seat in 1/48th scale? I believe the actual colour is Admiralty Grey, but I am not sure that anyone produces this shade (WEM colourcoats may have?). I would start with something like dark or medium sea grey and experiment from there. The Harrier FRS.1 was fitted with a MB 10 ejection seat. Which one is best? There are several resin replacement MB10's as this seat is used in several different aircraft types and the resin seats vary in quality and detail. Some of the better looking items may be more accurate but these may not fit in the cockpit, or they may be undersized. Instead of asking everyone for their opinion, perhaps you should surf the net for pics of the real MB 10 then compare these to the available resin aftermarket seats. Then you could use your opinion to pick the best seat. Pavla, Neomega and Aires would be the main producers, cheers, Pappy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm probably going with the neomega seat, hoping it fits the kinetic kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a4s4eva Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'm probably going with the neomega seat, hoping it fits the kinetic kit. Let us know. I want to add a seat to mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
