Hacker Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have one revell old mold and the hasegawa one. I like the latter but is it generally accurate in shape and size? I know it is missing some things but that can be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Brooks Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If it's wider than a scale 17" (.53" or about 13.5mm,in 1/32 scale,) it's too big. Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 They're both too big, there was a comparison done sometime ago, don't know about the Barracuda seat, but this one is accurate http://www.greymatterfigures.com/index.php?p=2&id=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 To say it shortly: - Hasegawa seat: far too large - old Revell: incorrect proportions - Matchbox-revell: incorrect proportions, too thick and too large - Tamiya: Ok - Grey Matter seat (as well as its old brother, the Warbirds one): Ok - Aires seat: far too large (based on the Hasegawa one) - Barracuda: Ok (based on the Tamiya) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks Derek. At the moment l am looking at what looks good rather then what is accurate but it does give food for thought. according to my measurements ( always supect if I am wearing my glasses or not ) it is only 3 mm too wide. Something l could live with if need be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
