1:32 K-36L (early) ejection seat (for Su-25 aircraft until 2007) (All kits)

The early form of the K-36L seat for the Su-25 in 1:32

A Quinta Studio accessory devoted to the K-36L ejection seat in the form that Su-25 attack aircraft carried up to 2007. What decides, then, is the period you want to capture on the model, not just the type of machine itself.

The K-36L and the Su-25 attack aircraft

The K-36L is the lightened form of a seat from the same family, adapted to a subsonic attack aircraft. The Su-25 was created for the direct support of ground forces, and its pilot's station is protected by an armored tub. The seat is a prominent feature inside it, and in a large scale the segmentation of the backrest and the attachment of the straps are clearly visible, so it certainly does not get lost on a finished model. To protect the pilot, this machine has the crew space set high and fairly narrow.

The early or the later form

The choice between the two forms is determined by the date of the machine you are building. This item matches the older examples; if your markings belong to later years, reach for the matching variant of the accessory. The shape of the back support and the arrangement of the harness can be compared against period photographs. The differences between the two forms are small, but in a large scale you will tell them apart.
