This new resin set from
Cutting
Edge Modelworks will permit you to back date and upgrade the 1/32 Trumpeter
P-38J/L cockpit to get a finely detailed cockpit of the P-38F/G/H. 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 mention a clear
resin windscreen, but I believe this is a misprint in the instructions and is
not supposed to be mentioned in the instructions. 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 ....especially if you want to build the earlier P-38F/G/H from the 1/32
Trumpeter P-38J/L kit.
Note this set is intended to be used with the Cutting Edge Modelworks
P-38F/G/H Conversion set for the Trumpeter P-38J/L (set CEC32156, not included).
I would like to
thank Cutting Edge
Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
