Mike Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 P-40 Tomahawk Resin Seats (various)1:48 Ultracast It looks to be a bit of a minefield choosing the correct seat for your Tomahawk, and in their usual meticulous manner, they have created a range of four seats for early Tomahawks, as follows: P-40 Early Square Back export seat without harnesses – for early war RAF, RAAF, SAAF and Flying Tigers (AVG) aircraft. P-40 Early Square Back export seat with wide lap belt harness – for Flying Tigers (AVG) aircraft. P-40B/C seat with wide lap belt harness – suitable for all USAAF aircraft prior to mid 1942. P-40 Early Square Back seat with British Sutton harness – for early war RAF, RAAF, SAAF aircraft. As usual with Ultracast's products, and as their name suggests, the casting is superb, with lots of fine detail captured, and some fantastically naturalistic draping of the belts on the seats. The casting blocks are attached to the parts by fine lengths of "flash" that should be simple to remove with a sharp knife or razor saw, so clean-up should be minimal. The seats with circular mounting points at the top also have a little flash between the two fine tubes, which can be removed with the tip of a new #11 scalpel. A good wash in some soapy water, and some sympathetic painting will dramatically improve the look of your Tomahawk's cockpit.Very highly recommended.
