Identical cushion pattern and

Ultracast's latest seat release is for 1/48
scale Messerschmitt Me 262 models.
Two seats are included in this set. They
should be applicable to the Dragon/DML/Italeri, Revell-Monogram and Tamiya kits.
They will also be suitable for 1/48 scale Arado Ar 234 models.
In common with Ultracast's other seats, the
harness is cast in place. The drape is very convincing and will look great under
a coat of paint. The backrest cushion is also depicted.
The casting block is connected via a couple of
thin resin wafers. These can be sliced off and cleaned up in seconds.
This is another useful accessory from
Ultracast that will look great in the open cockpit of your Me 262, or through
the plexiglas nose of an Arado Ar 234.
Recommended.
