        Wolfpack

        1/48 F-5/T-38 Ejection Seat Set w/Seatbelt (2pcs)

        WLFWP48089 from HobbyLink Japan http://www.hlj.com/

        Product article by Nick Moore

        Wolfpack supply two sets of seats, belts and apparently guide rails in this package, along with one larger canopy breaker to be attached to the front seat of a two seater version F-5F. So you can use one seat for your single seater and have a spare or use them both on your two seater. The creation of the variation is a simple matter of removing the cast breakers on both seats and attaching the large breaker to the forward seat.

        Wolfpack recommend their set for 1:48 F-5’s by AFV (naturally), along with older kits by Revell, Italeri and Sword. The little fold up instruction document enclosed with the resin parts is printed in full colour and includes reference photos for the variation described above. 

        The quality of the parts is good and if you check your references against the photos provided here and elsewhere you will see that these seats replicate the genuine articles quite nicely.

        The latest F-5’s by AFV have a seat comprising several parts (no belts though), which is a good effort but I think most people would agree that these replacement resin parts will look superior and are well worth chucking in.

        The F-5 has a somewhat “no frills” cockpit in reality but there is certainly still some intricacy up for grabs and Wolfpack have managed to capture some for your benefit.

        My thanks to HobbyLink Japan (http://www.hlj.com/) for providing this review sample.
