This new resin nose by Maestro Models Conversions features a complete resin cockpit for the Heinkel He115 from Special Hobby.  The Heinkel He115 was the SwAF T2 torpedo plane 2 used by Sweden.  The Heinkel He 115 was a World War II seaplane with three seats that was built in Germany. It was used as a torpedo bomber and performed general seaplane duties, such as reconnaissance and minelaying. 

This detail set includes mostly cockpit detail items including many that are pre-painted.  You also get other details including gun sights. 

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This is a set that will give you enhanced detail in the cockpit area of the Heinkel He115 kit and the fact it is pre-painted makes life so much easier if you do use this detail set. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin and photo etch detail items as well as decals directly from Maestro Models Conversions or from the many retailers that carry their products.
