F-100 C ejection seat

[Stef (#6)]

Hello gentlemen,

I'm beginning to build the Trumpeter F-100 C and have been reading that the seat is different from the D and above versions.

Having the detail and scale, the drawing in there makes me think that the seat of the C is very close (if not the same) as the one in the F-86, bar the headrest shape which has a rounded top where it's squared on the 86.

Am I totally mistaken or can I use this seat in the C ?

Web searches were not so productive so I'm a bit lost.

Thanks in advance for any help with that topic.

Best,

Stephane
