Let’s face it, ejection seats in kits usually leave something to be desired. Usually, the culprits are the lack of seat belts or just the limitation of the plastic molding process. The ejection seat is also the most visible part of the interior, either with the canopy open or closed.

It sure would be nice to have a well-detailed seat in your Hun. Quickboost provides just that – a perfectly detailed seat complete with seatbelts and shoulder harness. It is easy enough to remove the resin pour block. My example was perfectly cast in light grey resin. It is perfect and just needs a coat of paint to bring it alive. It is an easy addition to either your Trumpeter or Monogram Hun.

Easy installation, perfectly cast, and highly detailed...what more can you ask for? Absolutely nothing. Another great product from Quickboost. Remember if you are doing an F-100F you will need two seats.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the review copy.

Reviewer Bio

Floyd S. Werner Jr.

Building models since the age of 7, I’ve become known for my Bf-109s and helicopters. I currently run Werner’s Wings. I was previously the ‘star’ of the Master Class Model Building Video series. I’ve been published numerous times on various website, including Hyperscale and ARC. My work has been in FSM and Great Scale Modeling 2001, as well as, numerous other model magazines. I’m a published author with my Squadron/Signal Walkaround book on the Kiowa Warrior. My models have continuously won many regional and national awards. My unique model photography gives my models instant recognition for their historical perspective.

I’m a retired from the Army after 21 years of flying Cobras and Kiowa Warriors, including tours in Iraq, Bosnia, Korea, and Germany. I’m also a retired Flight Officer for the Baltimore City Police and flew their helicopters chasing bad guys. I’m currently flying Cobras and Hueys with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation.

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Yvonne, for 42 years. Our daughters have blessed us with six grandchildren. My passions continue to be his family, friends, helicopters, models and airplanes, especially the Bf-109 and my beloved AH-1 Cobra. My motto has always been - MODELING IS FUN!
