This is a very comprehensive set that includes the following.  Resin sidewalls, gunsight, the wall with full detail that goes behind the pilot seat, rudder pedals, instrument panel with coaming, acetate instrument panel for the gauges, compete photo etch pilots seat (with many parts to build the seat), seat back pad, seat belts and many other parts.  

If you buy this set, you will be very impressed with the level of detail you'll be able to add to the cockpit of this WW2 German jet fighter.

The instructions are helpful and easy to follow and are included on 3 pages.  This set will require a bit of effort due to the large number of parts, but the finished results will be very impressive.

Instruction Sheets

Resin casting is of a very high quality and the complete set is flawlessly done.  The Photo Etch is beautifully done with outstanding detail.....a real credit to the master modeller that designed this set.  If you building the Dragon He-162 Salamander or the older release by Trimaster....this set is well worth considering for the cockpit detailing.   

I would like to thank Griffon Model Accessories for providing me with this review sample.
