This resin and pre-painted photo etch set includes:

• cockpit floor

• resin cockpit sidewalls with added photo etch details

• resin pilot seat with separate frame attached to the back of the seat

• photo etch armor plate behind the pilot seat and head

• multi-layered resin and pre-painted instrument panel

• multi-part pre-painted seatbelts with separate buckles

• resin radio compartment, rudder pedals and control column/wheel

• photo etched detail parts including engine throttles

• clear glass for the gunsight

There are 4 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.

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 1/48 Academy P-38J is a well respected kit, but there is a need to upgrade the cockpit detail and this resin and pre-painted cockpit set will give you the ability to really upgrade the cockpit detail.

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