Pilot and WSO Figures Added

The F-15E has two seats. It felt wrong to leave them empty.

From early on we wanted to give people the option to have figures in the cockpit — a pilot in the front seat, a Weapon Systems Officer in the back. But adding figures came with a problem we were not willing to ignore: how do you keep them securely in the seat without a visible locking mechanism ruining the look of both the figure and the ejection seat?

A clip, a peg, a screw — anything obvious would have broken the aesthetic entirely. These are some of the most detailed parts of the model. We were not going to compromise them.

So we went back to the drawing board and worked on it until we found a solution that does the job completely invisibly. The connection between the pilot and the seat is secure, clean, and leaves no trace on either part. You would never know it was there.

We are happy with it. It took longer than we wanted, but the result is exactly what we were looking for.

On that note — the pilot and WSO figures will not be included as standard in every box. They will be available as an optional add-on when you purchase the model. If you want the cockpit occupied, you will be able to make that happen. If you prefer it empty, that is equally valid.

Two figures. Two seats. One very clean solution.

More to come before we launch.
