--------------------

 

Here's new resin seats without harnesses from Ultracast for your next 1/48 P-47.  These square-backed seats were commonly found on P-47 bubble-tops up to the P-47N-15-RE series when seats with arm rests attached began to be used.  These seats replace the kit seats which are always poorly detailed and inaccurate.  These seats have the fine detail and will look quite sharp on your next Thunderbolt.  You are to use the resin seat instead of the kit seats.  These don't seats have resin seatbelts, so they are perfect for adding photo etch or tape seat belts to.  You can also buy resin seats with resin seatbelts from Ultracast.

There are 2 seats in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the seats come attached to the casting blocks with very easy to manage connection points and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless. 

The seats are a major focal point on models and these will really dress up the detail level in the cockpit of your P-47 bubble-top.

I would like to thank Ultracast for providing me with this review sample.
