A-6E seats

Just looked at Squadron's website and ebay. You have to buy the whole A-6A cockpit to get the seats?

Are you talking about the A seats or the E seats? The A seats by AMS are sold at Sprue Brothers. The TD E seats are available at Squadron.

maybe he wants to buy the BB/Avionix cockpit to get the GRU-7 seats (A-6E)

The BB/Avionix seats are more of a Frankenseat, not really a GRU-7 or anything else. They do LOOK good but still no cee-gar.

I started work on one over a year ago, but got hung up on other projects then health issues bit me in the rear, (herniated disc)

There was a tread discussing Apoxie Sculpt...the para pac and seat cushions are formed with the epoxy, thin strips of regular masking tape were laid on the seat grooves to give it some texture. The para pac straps and hold downs are from a PE set designed for the F-4 seats.

Whoa, so it's still a possibility? I'd love to see them done.

If I can take some time and be able to see well enough. I have what is called an "ocular pucker" in the left eye, leaving me with horribly distorted images and no depth perception. I will try to do a few small things next week and see how they turn out.

Harold, that GRU-7 master looks terrific.

 

Hope you get well soon :)
