ReccePhreak Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I finally managed to snag an Airfix TSR-2, and I will only be adding a few aftermarket items: the Eduard color Zoom PE set and resin seats. Which seats are the best, the Czech Master or the Pavla? I tried to do a search, but wasn't very successful. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReccePhreak Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I used the CMK set, the cockpit and seats are superbly moulded in my opinon. Thanks for that info. I will probably just use the seats, not the whole cockpit set. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thanks for that info.

Sten Ekedahl Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) I would also recommend substituting the whole cockpit tub since any of the resin ones - Pavla or CMK - is a vast improvment of the kit part which bears just a passing reseblance of the original (I've sat in it at Duxford!). Let's face it; the cockpit(s) is(are) the main focal point of an aircraft model so it's worth some effort! And as Geoff said, it is a lot more work to fit two resin seats in the Airdix tub, than to fit a complete resin tub inside the Airfix fuselage. Personally I'm using the Pavla pit since I bought it before the release of the CMK version. However I find the difference between the two marginal.
