Eduard P-38J Lightning Over Europe 1:48

3. Cockpit parts

ZOOM - Move your mouse over image

A complete cockpit is supplied here and it looks very tasty. Painting is going to be testing as the details are small. I saw a review that stated that not much of this would be in sight once the fuselage is closed up. So take lots of pics if you like your work and then close it!
To go with all this is the usual pre coloured etched parts sheet.

For once I have no quibble about the colours as the cockpit sides etc are left for you to paint! The belts look as though they could be toned down a bit. It will brighten up the office quite a bit.

4. General etched parts

Here are all the pieces to sharpen up the wheel wells, intakes and bombs etc.
The Academy kit was already more than presentable and all this should make it a real jewel.

Decal sheet

6 versions of the aircraft are available here 3 in drab and three NMF – the stencils are all there too. A very comprehensive decal sheet.

A very high quality kit in this form which I will be building in due course.
