Evening all
I'm out my depth and need your advice on the colours for the F-14D cockpit and ejector seat, as HB instruction do not give a lot of detail.

cheers in advance
Adam

The ejection seat is a semi-gloss black. Cushion is usually an olive drab color. The waist harness and shoulder harness are both olive drab. Though, the inertial reels are purple (other half of shoulder harness.) Overall the cockpit is a neutral gray color. The panels are black.

If you need more references, I have a photo set from the front and back seat of a F-14D. Though, I won't be able to access that computer for about a week. (I'm off doing work stuff right now.)

I found this site a couple of weeks ago which has pictures of various ejector seats. The link is to the gallery index page, you just need to search for F-14 and a couple of different options come up - not sure which one you want which is way I didn't directly link to the page :)
