Nikola Topalov Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hi gents, Does anyone know or have a reference photo of how the seat belts where attached on the early type (high backrest) seat on a Bf109 F4? I have everything ready but just don't have a clue how to fit it correctly as the instructions don't show it. The kit is Hasegawa 1/32 and the belts are Eduard. Thanks in advance!

thierry laurent Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Tricky question...! here's what I found some years ago. For the lower ones, without other specific evidence, I would fix them as they were on the Emil seat: Hth Thierry Isar 30/07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah s&%t, now I am even more confused, haha. The Hase seat doesn't have that extra part at the back to put the belts through. The just tell to bend the decals around the top. These are some of the example 1/32 seats that I found: Gazzas and Isar 30/07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I know... This is why I wrote this is a tricky question! Because of the lack of documentation it looks nobody depicted that correctly! Alain Gadbois and Nikola Topalov 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) The F-4 changed seat somewhere near the beginning of the series , it went from this (same as the F-2) ... To this ... this looks like the front with the parts that went down the back exposed for illustration purposes ... It looks to me like there were more than one design they tried in the F-4.

Thank you Mike! Much appreciated. The first picture is what I especially needed. Best, Nikola MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
