This resin cockpit set from Cutting Edge Modelworks is designed to replace the less that satisfactory cockpit in the 1/48 Trumpeter P-40B kit to build a Tomahawk or Hawk 81.  You get all the parts you need to do this cockpit up right in this otherwise very fine kit.

The seat has molded in seatbelts and the instrument panel has the gauges molded in the resin....including the needles.  Also included is rudder pedals and a finely detailed control stick.

The one page of instructions includes a line drawing and photos to show you where everything goes.  Also included is general construction tips for this particular model kit and step by step instructions for adding this resin cockpit and painting suggesstions.  The resin casting is of a very high quality and all detail is very well done.  If you're building this kit....then this cocpkit set fromCutting Edge Modelworks is a must.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
