Query to P-51B/C Schick-Johnson Plywood Seat

[Ralph-D]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for photo(s) showing the plywood Schick-Johnson seat (pls no drawing or sketches).

I found only this picture (see link) but this indicate in my opinion the SJ-seat for the P-51A (by comparing with drawing 91-53074)

Link to picture

Hope the community can help.

 

I have already made the drawing, but I would like to know if the seat was really fabricated according to the drawing.

 

 

 

 

 

Additional does somebody has the original SJ metal seat drawing # 95-100. I think this drawing is property of the SJ company and not easy to get

(metal seat used only on D model according Tourist-51 or P-51B/C restored after WWII).

 

 

From left to the right:

- 3D Print SJ-Plywood

- Improved Resin for TRM from Lone Star Models (Mike West)

- TRM seat (designed for hobbit-Pilots)

- 3D Print SJ-Metal

- TAM SJ-Metal TAM

 

Regards

Ralph

I think you'll only find drawings because they were all painted before assembly.

It appears the wooden seats were almost identical to the metal seats.

Aircorps does have the manuals so you might find an 'official' drawing there.

Well, it took long time, but I found by luck pictures

I'm surprised that this seat was also used for the P-40 and the owner has a treasure...I don't think there are many of them left
