Help with A-1H seat

[Alleycat]

Question: Does the 1/48 True Details 48424 "Stanley Yankee Ejection Seats for F-4, A-1J Skyraider" fit in the Aires resin cockpit set for the Tamiya A-1H kit?

 

I saw a review that said it did not fit in the Tamiya cockpit because the seat was too long and too wide. I got the Aires cockpit set years ago but it has the non-ejection bucket seat. I have seen the TD Stanley on ebay but need to know if it fits before ordering.

 

Are there any other sources for this seat? I think KMC did a cockpit set that has this seat but it is long oop.

 

If anyone has one for sale or trade let me know. The TD set seat comes with two and I only need one.

 

After getting the A-1H decals I needed from a fellow ARC member (thanks Tim) I discovered that the A-1H Aircraft I plan to do had the Stanley Yankee Extraction System installed. Two books and photographic evidence indicate that all VA-152 A-1H aircraft had the Stanlee YES mod installed prior to their July 1967 deployment to SEA.

 

Thanks for the help.

The seat is still available from Squadron under their True Details product line: https://www.squadron.com/1-48-True-Details-Stanley-Yankee-Ejection-Seats-p/td48424.htm

 

Currently listed now as out of stock.

That is good to know but will it fit the Aires cockpit (for the Tamiya 1/48 A-1H) , length and width, without jamming up against the control stick and scraping the side consoles too badly?

Still wondering...
