otis252 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Excellent work, I'd love to find one of those kits. Question, did those Aires seats come with belts? Thanks Chuck MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 A superb build, really excellent built Oh and Check Quote That Red Arrows red plastic takes me back. I remember ordering one from Argos (a UK chainstore) who were selling them at £9.99 each. That would be approx. 10 years ago - and still got some of them in my stash! wunwinglow and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Nice work on the seats. It may just be the lighting, but they do look like they are a very dark colour? (the seat colour is a similar colour to the cockpit grey colour on the full size items). Regards Derek Stevepd, Kirk and MARU5137 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image I posted is from a Mk.66 Hawk cockpit, however, it is now in Finnish Air Force service. It looks like the Swiss probably had the lightweight CH 10 LH seats installed originally (which are black). my guess is that the image I posted has been mis-identified and it is actually a Finnish Mk.51A aircraft with the original heavyweight seat, ands not the mk.66 bought aircraft.

Stevepd Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’ve got 2 of these in the stash. A a pile of am bits inc the CMK offering and 2 sets of the Heritage large headbox seats. I might have to make some copies when I learn. Derek B and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Just found this image of a Finnish Air Force (ex-Swiss Air Force Mk.66 aircraft); looks like the Finns did re-install the older Mk.10B seats after all! (which is a little surprising, as the Swiss CH10LH seats have better performance).
