AMS Resin is back with another nice detail set, this time
for the 1/48 scale F-100 Super Sabre. Until recently, I'd have
said that this is the perfect cockpit enhancement for the Revell-Monogram
1/48 F-100D kit.
If you've been keeping up on hobby news, you've heard rumors
of several companies planning to release a 1/48 F-100 series
and now the rumors are over. In a few months, Trumpeter is
releasing the first installment in their 1/48 Super Sabre series,
the F-100C. You can expect the D and F models to follow.
This
ejection seat captures the details and offers the shoulder
harness and seat belt as well as the O2 hose all integral with
this nice seat casting. All you have to do is paint and install
this into your favorite Hun kit. For now, this seat will work
nicely for the Revell-Monogram kit, but you'll want a few more
for the Trumpeter D and F models as well. What about the F-100C?
That aircraft had a slightly different seat and I'm sure AMS
Resin is already working on a proper seat for this first Trumpeter
kit as well.
Recommended for experienced modelers!
