These new resin cockpit from Cutting Edge Modelworks will be the ideal compliment for the new conversion sets for the old 1/32 Hasegawa and Matchbox Bf-109E's.  This set corrects all the inaccuracy issues on the kit cockpit and this kit also adds a whole new level of detail that you can't hope to add to the very spartan kit cockpit.  The earlier Bf-109A/B/C/D's had some unique features that are different from the later models such as the E has the rudder pedals weren't drilled out to lighten them on the earlier Bf-109 where as on the E model they were drilled out.  So if you use the kit cockpit with the Cutting Edge Modelworks conversion set to create the earlier Bf-109A/B/C/D then you will have a host of inaccuracies in the cockpit.  I've seen the conversion sets to create the earlier pre-Bf-109E aircraft and they are very compete and well done.

The resin casting is of a very high quality and all the detail is very well done with no air bubbles.  This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks will permit modelers to take their substandard Bf-109E kit cockpit and use this very finely detailed earlier cockpit.  Add the correct conversion set for the aircraft you want to build of the 3 conversion sets available from Cutting Edge Modelworks and you will have a stunning early Bf-109.

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