This new release

features a complete
resin cockpit for the 1/32 F-8E/H Crusader.
This cockpit
set is designed for the Trumpeter kit and includes everything you need to do
away with the kit cockpit and add this super detailed resin beauty.

The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free and the detail level is out of this world......that is
the joy of 1/32.....you can really add the detail. The ejection seat rails
are cast as part of the tub.......but the delicate I Beams are perfectly
cast.
You also get a acetate sheet for
the instrument panel showing all the instruments in full detail. Plus you
get a photo etch sheet with a wonderfully detailed instrument panel, seatbelts,
rudder pedals, and sides for the HUD and so much more. The seatbelts come
with separate buckles.....you weave the seatbelts through the
buckles........super detailers are going to have fun with this set.
Attached to the casting block
behind the seat is the ejection handles for the top of the seat. The one
problem with most plastic model kits is the weak cockpit detail and if you're
building the F-8E/H Crusader from Trumpeter, then this resin cockpit set is a
must have. I love the detail level of this cockpit set.
You can purchase this and other
fine resin detail items directly from Aires
or from the many retailers that carry their products.

I would like to
thank Aires for
