erewhon1872 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi all, I picked up a really nice Hasegawa Mitsubishi F1 from the Hinckley show today but as the ejector seat is rather basic I wondered if anyone knows if there's a replacement resin seat out there for this kit? Hopefully the seat is a common one used on other aircraft, so wonder if there are any JASDF experts on BM who know if there's a suitable aftermarket item? Thanks in advance, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus.Q1000859 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) The seat is a license built Weber ES-7J.Images show it to be the same or v similar to the F-106 seat. http://www.ejectionsite.com/frame_106.htm Edited March 13, 2016 by Marcus.Q1000859 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erewhon1872 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 are you sure it's like an F-106 seat? The Delta Dart was a late 1950's aircraft and while not brand new the Mitsubishi F1 would have been designed in the 1970's, is it likely to have used an ejector seat design that was already almost 20 years old? Not saying you are wrong as frankly I don't know which is why I'm asking the question in the first place, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erewhon1872 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 to answer my own question this chap does a Resin set and also looks like some cockpit PE comes with it http://llama84.tripod.com/id5.html have asked him for details and got a reply straight away, he's in the States but may be the only game in town?

Cabbie Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looking at the Llama site I can tell you this much, Aconagua is the Neomega of South America. The IA-58 Pucara is said to be beautiful and the photos of the contents don't lie! You will have a small issue in that the etch in the set is for the F-1 giving the front IP but nothing for the back pit.

Regards, Chris the cabbie Chris how do you read that text, do you think it means the P-E set fits the Fujimi kit only while the seats fit both Fujimi and Hasegawa? I have an F1 but also plan to get a T2, so looks like I'll need three seats? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
