Title: Who make good 1/32 scale resin Nieuport seats
Post by: James Reagan on October 13, 2020, 01:58:13 AM

A couple of my WW1 132 scale Nieuport kits could use improved accurate seats. Mostly for the earlier aircraft like the 11, 16, and 17  Who offers them?  I know Toms Models offers some aftermarket photo etched.

Aviattic offers a very nice "peach basket" style seat.

The Aviattic seat is beautiful, but it’s for the Nie. 28. AFAIK, the  11/16/17/21/23 all sported solid back seats.

You could easily make one yourself with a thin plastic sheet.

I think that the seatback was not always solid ply. Many were drilled out for weight relief. Easy to duplicate though....

Surprised there are not more aftermarket offerings for the typical drilled Nieuport seat but Tom's Modelworks had a etch set that had one and also some other useful fittings with it
