Functioning seat adjustmentAfter doing a lot of decal work, with some problems, I need a break and have done somthing different.
On my Albatros W.4 a friend complained, that the seat is too far back, so a pilot with very long legs is needed. I mounted the parts in the recesses given by Eduard so it was to late to fix it. But this should not happen again ...
The kit contains some nice PE, but I found other PE set by Eduard to add some parts.
So I soldered a seat and added 0.8mm Nickel silver pipes to the mounting frame.
I formed the frame for fuselage and soldered 0.7mm nickel silver pipes, as this matched the etched holes.
Inside of the seat I formed upholstery with Milliput.
Now I can mount the seat with PE clamps and the seat can slide on the tubing.
Here in the back position:
And here moved to max foreward position:
And finally the painted the leather.
I only added the tubes and Milliput, the rest was provided by Eduard.
The seat can still be removed to paint the frame.
Cheers,
Frank
