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

 

Here's a new set of resin 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolt Seats from Ultracast.   These are the Square-Backed Seats and are designed to replace the kit seats which are inaccurate and poorly detailed to say the least.  These seats have the fine detail including molded in seat belts and will look quite sharp on your next P-47.  You are to use the resin seats instead of the kit seats.  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.

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 improve the look of the undercarriage in your next P-47 Thunderbolt.

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