New from S.B.S Model comes a superbly detailed cockpit for the popular Hasegawa quarterscale Friedrich.

My main problem is that they are only using the later seat and not providing the early seat, E model, with this set. At least the big Hasegawa kit got it (almost) right. Otherwise its a nice set.

Hi Joe
The seat style matches that shown for the 'F-2 in what appears to be an original maintenance manual photo reproduced Monogram's "German Aircraft Interiors 1935-1945 Vol. 1" by Ken Merrick.
All the best

True the F did use this type of seat but there were many that still used the earlier type seat. Even Marseille's plane had the early seat.
Just would have been nice to have both options.

Cheers Joe
That explains Monogram's own cut-away diagram in that section. They don't explain why it has the early seat...
S.B.S Model are really open to feedback to ensure they offer the maximum to modellers, so I'll point them to your comments.
All the best
