Steve McArthur Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This is the ejection seat called out in the 1/48 AFV Club Iranian Saeqeh-80 version of their F-5E kit painted according to the kit instructions. It was on a kit specific sprue with the twin tails unique to this version. The standard F-5E seats are in the kit, but this is the one called out in the instructions. I'd like to replace it with a resin one, but have no idea what it's supposed to represent and I haven't found any clear photos of one of Iran's Saeqeh's to identify what it should be.

Giorgio N Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Iranian F-5s at some point received an MB Q7 seat, similar to that used on many F-104s. The seat in the picture show several features of this seat family so I'd say this is what is trying to represent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McArthur Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks @Giorgio N MB IRQ7A seems to be the designation for the F-5 model that went to Iran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
