This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks will permit you to upgrade the 1/32 Trumpeter P-38J/L cockpit to get a finely detailed cockpit.  These parts are direct replacement for kit parts so there is very little effort to use this set.  The gauges on the instrument panel have instrument needles on them......very nicely done indeed.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow and include pics of the set after assembly.  This is a straight forward set so the instructions are a bit of a mute point.

This set has a good amount of detail and will really dress up the cockpit of your P-38 and also includes posable seatbelts made from paintable vinyl and you also get parts for the radio  compartment behind the cockpit..

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 is the best way to go to get the proper level of cockpit detail in the 1/32 Trumpeter P-38J/L kit. This set is not recommended for the old Revell kit due to possible fit problems.

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