I liked your try at foil covered seat cushions earlier but I really like your Sculpt-a-mold results even better. I went even a third route for the seats on my HST but still like your seating "pads" MOST OF ALL!
Your's are the most realistic! Kudos.


I just carved and modified the existing seat moldings to produce what you see in the photo - though they did not turn out as realistic looking as yours. I also have photo etched seatbelts coming, yet to add.

I would say mine look way "too perfect" and too big. The real seats were just flat canvas zippered bags filled with either folded blankets or stuffed with straw sisal (sp?) inside. Rough riders for sure but better than sitting on bare metal!

I would think they would work for either but someone else is gonna have to say for sure!

As posted, yes.
There are several examples of at least 110th AAA M4s using T48s, also others with cleat tracks.

Sorry but did not see the "yes" above the photo or the fact that this was a quote.

I thought the question was still in play.
