Also check out my other Vario Lynx parts in my profile, including a complete cockpit kit and working cabin doors. The cockpit kit includes the seats. I designed these seats for a Vario 1:8 scale Lynx which I am about to start building as a norwegian Lynx Mk86. It can be scaled up or down to fit other scales. For example, to scale up to 1:6 scale resize to 133%. When assembled correctly the mechanism for raising and lowering the seat works, but is only locked in place by friction. Use 19 mm (3/4") fabric ribbon around the top of the seat and glue to the back of the back "pillow" to achieve the scale look. Use a length of thin electrical wire between the harness reel and harness locking lever to simulate the wire housing. Use a heat gun and gently heat the flat seat part before bending as shown in the illustration. Glue the parts together with CA. I recommend using cut down brass nails for the hinge points, and thin piano wire to connect the bell cranks on the left side of the seat adjusting mechanism. Army-Paint.com "Flat Battleship Grey" (RAL 7031) is a good color match for the Lynx interior grey. The version with headrest is appropriate for the norwegian RNOAF Lynx Mk86. Seat01.stl - Seat set without headrest. Seat02.stl - Seat set with headrest. Seat03.stl - Pillow, emergency seat pack and tray for the seat pack. Seat04.stl - Shafts for the seat mechanism.
