1/32 Resin cockpit

Product # CEC32057 for Trumpeter A-10 Warthog kit

Review by Patrick Spitaels

--------------------

 

This is the best cockpit I've ever seen in resin, the only minor problem is that the tub is moulded with the side walls, so it's pretty difficult during the painting process, especially for me, who is used to turning the piece to paint the details.

The seat is a great piece of resin work that requires nothing more that some good painting.

The instrument panel was assembled as laid out in the instructions, sanding the back of the panel and gluing the clear film with a piece of white paper behind.

The HUD is something great too...but be gentle when taking it off the sprue....and be more gentle when sanding it.  It is a very fine part, so careful  when sanding.  the finished HUD is beautiful. 

The rear parts (actuation mechanism) is not yet assembled in my pictures, because I usually add those pieces during the last stages building.

So, if you're building the TRUMPETER kit, you need this resin cockpit set!
