TankBuster Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi I brought these seatbelts by mistake and was wondering if I would be able to use on other jets of the era to save sending them back for a refund. Cheers Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Don't see why not. Firstly, for anything else of that era with a C-2 seat, the same as in the 104, they are clearly going to work, as the harness is part of the seat, not the airframe, for obvious reasons. I'm no expert on US bang seats, but there must be something else, one of the other Century series perhaps. Secondly, a seat harness is a seat harness; chances are it could be adapted if there are any obvious differences, but (whisper it) so long as it looks convincing, who's going to know but you? Now off to set up the anti-torches and anti-pitchforks defences ... Edited September 27, 2022 by MikeC TankBuster, Jack and firefly7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I don’t think the Lockheed C-2 seat was used by any other aircraft, at least none available in 1/32 scale. Back in the day, there wasn’t much standardization, and many aircraft used seats made by the aircraft manufacturer themselves, designed to fit specific aircraft.

thierry laurent Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Dave is fully right. Moreover Starfighter Seat harnesses had quite distinctive features. So recycling the set as such is alas a no go. TankBuster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankBuster Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Thanks for the replies guys, I am going to keep them as I may be able to use the basic belts on something I have and its really not worth me sending them back with the cost of postage these days. By the way I should of said they are 1/48 Cheers Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 well, in reality i had the normal belt restraint strapping my body, and the "odd" foot restraint locked into a contraption which would be pulled back onto the bottom part of the seat on ejection in order to safeguard your knees from getting hurt......
