Rob Colvin Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Who makes a good ...I think it was a C1 seat for a USAF F-104c? I need one to finish out a Hasegawa kit. Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Rob, The C1 was the downward firing seat, fitted to A, B, C and D model Starfighters early in their careers. To my knowledge, there is no aftermarket option for the C1. By the early 1960s, all aircraft were upgraded with the C2, a conventional upward firing ejection seat. IMO, Eduard and Aires offer the best 1/32 scale C2 seats, the latter as part of a cockpit set or seated pilot option. I have the Eduard seat and it is very nice. Although advertised for the Italeri kit, it works just as well in a Hasegawa Starfighter.

Rick Griewski Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Comfort? The seat is too small for you. It is 1/32 scale after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
