This resin set includes:

  • resin cockpit tub

  • 2 cockpit sidewalls

  • armor plate behind pilot head

  • photo etch armor on back of canopy

  • photo etch and resin multi layered instrument panel with decals for gauges

  • photo etch seat belts

  • small resin parts including control stick

  • small photo etch parts including rudder pedals and trim tab wheel

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

There are 2 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.

This is quite the very well detailed cockpit set and this cockpit set is a small kit in it's own right and once painted, it will look excellent.  This is a big improvement over the kit cockpit set.

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