About product

Early GRU-7A seats for the Tomcat in 1:48

The box holds two ejection seats of the GRU-7A type in the early version, that is the complete fitting out of the cockpit of a two-seat carrier-borne fighter. The set is cut for the Tamiya and Hobby Boss kits. This is stated because Quinta Studio offers four very similar items alongside one another, and it is precisely the designation for a particular kit that is the only thing reliably telling them apart.

The Grumman F-14A and its crew

The Tomcat came about as a carrier-borne interceptor meant to protect carrier groups against anti-ship missiles. A variable-geometry wing allowed it to take off from and land on a deck and at the same time to reach high speeds; the radar and long-range missiles made it the longest-shooting machine of its day. Two men sat in the cockpit: the pilot in front, the weapons systems operator behind, without whose work the aircraft's potential could not be used. That is exactly why there are two seats in the box.

What to focus on

The Tomcat's cockpit is excellently visible under its large clear canopy, so it pays to finish the seats carefully. It works well to set the padding apart from the load-bearing structure, to give the straps an irregular run and to bring out the handles of the ejection system with black and yellow striping, which was unmistakable on naval machines.

Intended for

  • Builders of American carrier-borne fighters
  • Modelers who build the Tomcat with an open canopy
  • Those interested in the cockpit equipment of naval aviation
  • Advanced builders in 1:48 scale

The kit of the aircraft and the paints are not included.

FAQ

The F-14A had a crew of two, a pilot and a weapons systems operator. The set therefore covers both positions at once.

It is intended for models of the Tomcat from the Tamiya and Hobby Boss companies. For other makers Quinta Studio carries separate items.

The designation distinguishes two stages of the seat's equipment. The particular construction differences are not given.
