Help an old Armor guy. I have pics of M557's with pilot seats from Hueys mounted on top. Is there a source to buy 1/35 scale seats?
Thanks

MRC makes at least 3 different 1/5th Hueys, you might find one built up for sale cheap on e-bay and scavange the seats.
I think AEF did a set of chopper seats for putting on top of armor a while back, but good luck finding them and good luck with the quality.

I tried helping and looked everywhere but came up short.You may just want to buy a cheapo 1/32 revell huey to use the seats and pass it off for 1/35.Not much difference to the eye.

Chuck, a company called Cobra Company makes resin aftermarket items for helicopters.
Here's a link to one of their products which is a 1/32 scale set of UH-1 Huey Armored Pilots' Seats.
Hope this helps you out.

Under the 1/35 conversion details is a 1/35th AH-6J Little Bird set that looks like it contains seats as well. But the pic is small and it's hard to tell. Since it's based on the OH-6 they might be good too.
Might be worth dropping them an email and see if they'd sell you just the seats.
