Ben Brown Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Can someone recommend a 1/48 Stencil SIII-S seatfor the AV-8A (preferably with molded seat belts; I don't like wrestling with photo etched ones!)? I see several for the AV-8B. Were there specific versions for the A and B or were they interchangeable from a 1/48 modeling perspective? Thanks, Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Roof Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 That doesn't look right. I don't have my references readily available at the moment, but that doesn't match the seat in published photos of the AV-8A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

huatoz Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The Aires one is more correct. Please see this https://www.super-hobby.com/products/S-III-S.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffreyK Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Not a Harrier expert by any means, but the title of the thread reads "AV-8A", but according to the interwebs, the Stencel S-III-S that was used in the AV-8A, was the SEU-3/A, but in the AV-8B it was the SJU-4/A. Both Pavla and Aires are SJU-4/A seats and therefore not quite right, it would need face curtain pull rings for instance. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks everyone! Since Jeffrey doesn't produce a Stencil seat ( 😉 ), I'll either pick up the one from Pavla and modify it or just detail the kit seat. I finally found the thread about the seats here: LINK Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Ya know, after I got home from work this morning at 4am, I went through my bookmarks I have the the Harrier cause I could've sworn I once came across a website that discussed this somewhat in detail yet I couldn't find it. Also I was too darn tired. Lo and behold it was my own topic started here! Oh the irony! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Here's a link to a photo that has a SEU-3A, It is the middle seat in the lineup. http://www.ejectionsite.com/texans/b1_seu_er.jpg This site has some pics, close-ups, of what is supposed to be an AV-8A cockpit and ejection seat. http://svsm.org/gallery/av8a_cockpit/IMG_5879 Gotta say, none of the aftermarket seats shown so far look like a SEU-3A. Weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The closest a modeller can get to an accurate seat is to modify the Pavla Resin one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
