EvilCarrot Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi all, I'm in the middle of building Tanmodel's Thunderflash kit but I'm having trouble finding the right seatbelts or a resin seat with belts on it. I ordered a seat from CMK but that turned out to be the wrong one for my version. I also found this one: http://www.quickboost.net/Obrazky/48493.jpg for the Tamiya Thunderjet but I'm not sure whether or not they're the same type of seat Can anyone help me out? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 aaaah....you're talking 1/48 scale, aren't you???? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilCarrot Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yup, but I was afraid to mention that on these boards... Just kidding. It's really frustrating to google Thunderflash stuff because all the results for the -jet and the -streak get thrown in as well... mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilCarrot Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hmm, figured as much... Would there seat belts be specific to the plane as well or could there be a generic seat belt set I could use? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I had a thunderflash once. Yeah, I'll never forget it. I reckon it was that vindaloo. I never went to that restaurant again. IHTH. EvilCarrot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilCarrot Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 I never get a Thunderflash from spicy food, only the occasional Helldiver. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilCarrot Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Well I'm usually not that worried about accuracy, it's just that if there were accurate ones out there I'd have liked to use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Here is the Flight Manual for the RF-84: http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/aircraft/usa/republic/f-84-thunderjet-thunderflash-thunderstreak/t-o-1f-84-r-f-1-flight-manual-rf-84f-5-and-later-aircraft.html scroll down to pg.59 & 60 to see the two types of seats they had and to pg.63 to see how the belts were done up.

EvilCarrot Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Wow, great find, thanks! Judging from the Flight Manual the Quickboost seat seems to be a pretty close match, so I've decided to go for that one. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Wow, great find, thanks! Judging from the Flight Manual the Quickboost seat seems to be a pretty close match, so I've decided to go for that one. Cheers! The head armor is the main difference.
