Minute72 1/72 Avia Seat (Late Thirties)
By Matt Bittner
Since a lot of the 1/72 kits for Avia aircraft are older (although some are being replaced) most of the seats in those kits are nothing but plastic blobs that really don't resemble the real thing. Thankfully Minute72 (themselves a Czech company) has seen a need for replacement Avia seats and have released this set of two.
In the bag is one set of photoetch and two resin seat cushions. The main part of the seat is first folded before the resin seat cushion is added. To this are added lap belts and shoulder harnesses, and plastic rod added to build up the structure.
So, if you have a 1/72 Avia model (such as the B-534, B-122, Bs-122, etc.) and need a new seat for the kit, then this is definitely the set to pick up. It will really make the cockpit look much better.
My thanks to Minute72 for sending these seats to review. Note Minute72 is available both from Modelimex and Hanannts.
