Rainer Hoffmann Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Anyone know what the proper angle would be? No idea whatsoever. But the QB seat looks amazingly good (that is not to say "correct"). Could you perhaps modify the seat rails so the QB seat would fit?

P Stoner Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was heading in that direction till I noticed that the top brasses for the seat rail will not fit properly! Looks like its the kits seat or the Avionix will be the best choice for the least amount of modifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Used the QB seats in my build but I did modify the rails so that they fit better. No idea if the angle is right or wrong but the QB seats are really nicely cast and detailed (plus they have molded on belt detail which I prefer vs. photoetched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just for fun I pulled the -7 seat from Trumpy's F-14A kit and even they are different! Not the angle that is the same, but the details are a bit different( not the same seat!). Looking at photos of the WoflPack seat, it looks allot like the Aires/QB as far as the angle. I think since I have them and don't remember when or where I got them, the Avionix seat looks like they will be a good sub for the kit's seat!

P Stoner Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hmm...I have those QB seats for my trumpy tomcat. Wonder if the angle suits the tomcat? Looked at that as well since I had everything out! Aires pit. QB seat. Avionix seat Trumpy A-6 seat. Bare in mind the tabs on the bottom have not been cut off, so the seat dosn't sit level with the floor, but has the same angle as the Trumpy seat! I'll get a Tamiya seat out and show the same info if anyones intrested, or post a new thread on the Discusion board on the -7 seats we have out there! I'm thinking that the Avionix ( Black Box!) seat is the winner here! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Holy cow, you're in Stockton California. That's not that far from where I'm at. I do hope to run into you at a model show.

Your Intruder is coming along real nice. Keep up the good work. It took awhile for me to admit being from Stockton. It's like Chicago with more trees!! Got the old kick off classic at Milpitas on 29th of Sept, I'm going to try to make to that one. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Looking mighty fine Paul, good job. Considering all of the hubbub over this kit and it's delay over the years I'm very surprised that your build is the only one I've seem so far. Keep it up Paul, she's a belter!
