AM 1/48 F-16 seats

[jonbryon]

Hello all,

 

Before I spend money, can anyone confirm which aftermarket resin seats are compatible with the Hasegawa 1/48 F-16 kit cockpit and the Kinetic 1/48 F-16 kit cockpit? I've made the mistake of buying resin seats before only to find they are too wide for the kit plastic. 

 

I'm interested in the Quickboost 48002 resin seat and the Aires 4141 resin seats.

 

Many thanks

 

Jon

The Quickboost fits the Hasegawa tub like a glove, but is too wide for the Kinetic.  In case you're wondering, its too wide for the Tamiya also.

That's really helpful - thanks.

For Tamiya and Kinetic, I prefer Wolfpack design seat. Mine fits quite perfect.

The seat also comes with sheep skin cushion.

SHM F-16 seat is good too. But I have not heard from them for while.

Thanks - I intend to get the Wolfpack ones. It's for a US Navy F-16B so I think they might not be quite right, but they will be close enough.

 

I wish I could get SHM products, but I live the UK where they are unavailable (and shipping, at $25, plus the risk of adding 20% VAT and an £8 handling charge, is prohibitive).
