All,

For those of you who have built the Hasagawa F-18 - if I use the Eduard pre-colored photo etch set for the cockpit is it recommeded to still go with a replacement ejection seat?

I'm looking for some extra detail without bumping up the cost too high. This model will be the basis for the ew Zotz Swiss Tiger Meet decal set.

Any recommendations on aftermarket parts are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Lou

Yes
The bang seat in the kit is pretty basic. Also the swiss aircraft use the NACES seat wich is very diferent from the one in the kit.

Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I picked-up a Verlinden ejection seat for the F/A-18 and the Eduard color photo etch set. I would have liked to get the full Verliden cockpit or the Black Box ejection seat, but I could not locate any in stock anywhere.

Regards,
Lou
