This resin set includes:

  • resin cockpit floor

  • 2 cockpit sidewalls

  • firewall between engine and cockpit

  • resin instrument panel with raised detail for a second option

  • small resin parts including control stick

  • small photo etch parts and wire for added detailing

  • resin gun sight with clear acetate for gun sight glass.

There are 8 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

There are 2 frets of photo etch...one is pre-painted.  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.

The big 1/32 scale is such a glorious size for adding additional detail and this cockpit set does wonders in the cockpit area for adding detail.  The ribbed cockpit floor is beautifully rendered and the cockpit sidewalls also include the fine ribbing.  The choice of 2 different cockpits gives you the option of a resin/photo etch instrument panel or just a resin instrument panel for you to paint yourself with dry brushing etc.  The detail loaded into this cockpit set will be a joy to see once is is painted and assembled in the big Tamiya Corsair.

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