One can always use a replacement seat and this one from Pavla is a nice one. It is designed to replace the kit seat for any 1/48 AV-8A, AV-8B or German Alpha Jet. For the AV-8A you have a nice one from Monogram, while AV-8Bs can be found from Monogram and Hasegawa. The Alpha Jet was only done by ESCI and may have been reboxed by Italeri. This seat has the harness molded on and is very well detailed. Of course, I did have some breakage, but repair will be very simple and when installed, barely noticed.

Another finely molded piece from Pavla.
