This resin and photo etch set is quite comprehensive and includes well detailed resin parts and overlays those with quite the selection of pre-painted photo etch parts to add some stunning detail to your 1/72 FW 190A-8 from Eduard.  The instrument panel is a multi-layered pre-painted photo etch set-up complete with tiny gauges and a tiny application of Future will give your gauges the glass look.  Seat belts are multi-part units that you can fold and pose to suit your needs.  The photo etch rudder pedals have straps on them.  There is a thin acetate sheet containing the glass for the resin gun sight.  There are etch parts to attach to the canopy and if you use CA glue for this make sure you coat your canopy in Future or the fumes from the CA glue will fog your canopy.

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

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.

1/72 scale is a tiny scale and to add this level of cockpit detail to 1/72 Fw 190 is fantastic and the pre-painted photo etch parts make this set so much easier to use.  If you want to dress up the cockpit detail in your early Fw 190 from Eduard then this cockpit set is an excellent option to consider.

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