Some kit companies produce kits that we all want, but once we get them, we find that they somehow missed. This can be said about the Trumpeter Su-15 'Flagon A' kit. Pavla has realized a need for some proper bits for this kit and so has started by providing us with a replacement cockpit. This also includes the upper fuselage decking. This is a VERY thin casting an as such needs to be carefully handled.

But I am getting ahead of myself somewhat. In with this set is a new cockpit tub, a pair of inner bulkhead sections, new instrument panel, control stick, gun sight and a new seat with molded on belt detail. Also are two types of vacuformed canopy, one with a raised bump for a mirror and one without. Those thinking that this is the same as the Su-15 TM set recently reviewed would only be partially correct as this one has a different upper cockpit piece and instrument panel.

A fine new set that is sure to improve the look of your Trumpeter Su-15 considerably.
