Jorge Gallego-MadridThanks everyone!!
I got the idea of the seat from this ScaleATon video: Youtube Video
Regarding the kit itself, I have to admit that I was expecting a better quality from Kinetic. The fitting is not very good, some parts have serious flaws that require some work, and the rivets and panel lines does not fit very well between the two parts of the fuselage. Besides, it seems like the moulds have been corrected at some point, and there are some "old" panel lines and rivets that have not been totally removed from the moulds.
