  • Resin cockpit tub and 2 ejection seats

  • 4 cockpit side walls

  • Instrument panel in resin

  • resin instrument panels with front instrument coaming

  • Small resin bits to detail the cockpit including adding additional detail to the sidewalls 

  • Photo etch detail parts including seatbelts, canopy frames, canopy mirrors, ejection seat handles  and much more

  • You get photo etch seat belts to pose any way you please

  • The resin HUD has photo etch side for the clear acetate center glass.

There are 8 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  

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 massive and extensive cockpit set.  Without a doubt this cockpit set is a kit in itself and will add an almost unheard of level of detail to the 1/48 F-4J phantom.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
