One doesn't normally think of Monogram kits as needing resin interiors, but the fact is that as good as the Monogram interiors are from the box, the Black Box replacement one is even better. This one is a most comprehensive replacement for all parts of the interior. In addition to the usual replacement tub and seat, you also get new canopy actuators, the boxes behind the seat, seat rails, and actually a replacement canopy frame. You also get two different styles of headrest for an early or later F-5E. Some scratchbuilding is needed to properly represent an open canopy as you need to stretch some sprue for the actuating assembly rods. Nothing that most intermediate modelers cannot handle.
