thierry laurent Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi, A warning for the people considering the recent release of that True Details H7 seat based on a new 3D printed master: there is only ONE seat in the set! Go figure! As that specific seat was only used in a two-seater, I have yet to understand that. That release was not cheap and now I will need to purchase another one as the single part is useless. While the seat looks very nice, that business practice is debatable to say the least... Caveat emptor!

Kagemusha Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I meant to post similar, I got stung too, the price is more than two from other manufacturers. Shady business practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Don't tell me, it was a pricey lesson I've learned...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Morrissette Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Is it this one? https://www.squadron.com/Martin-Baker-Mk-H-7-Ejection-Seat-p/tdp32902.htm I did notice when they have multiples, they say "seats" and single "seat". They are nice but pricey as people said Then again, what kits and things aren't anymore Dave Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is so stupid for an accessory that cannot be used as such that I do not understand why they sell them as single parts unless to get more money. A pity.

If they sold a set for £32 they'd get very few takers, sell one for £16, and you've got a mug to buy another. ps. Their recent wheel releases have very boxy profiles, so give them a wide berth also.

AlanG Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 CMK do the very same thing with their 1/32 Ju88 A1/4 torpedo underwing racks. You can only buy them singularly. Totally stupid and pure profiteering imho. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Morrissette Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks to all. I don't find the Squadron thing that mystifying as we all tend to be the "hardcore" modelers who look around and know more details. Squadron caters to the ones less knowing and more into quick purchases, etc. which make up the majority of the modelers. (People that build a kit when they feel like it or are interested) And yes- its stupid to sell one but I assume it was done due to cost attracting people Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
