The spitfire cockpit is unique in the way it is designed and this set includes all the fuselage framing as seen on the full sized aircraft in all it's wondrous detail.

Between the resin and pre-painted photo etch part you get a very involved cockpit to upgrade your Battle of Britain Spitfire MK 1.

There are 6 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This cockpit set is very involved and will be a kit in itself to do a big upgrade in cockpit detail to the Airfix kit.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
