You will be required to fold the photo etch 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 is a very comprehensive set with plenty of excellent detailing.  Once assembled and paint, this will be an excellent looking highly detailed cockpit.

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from SBS Model or from the many retailers that carry their products.
